To adjust the sweetness of the orange syrup, simply increase or decrease the amount of sugar in the syrup preparation according to your taste preference.
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature before starting to make it easier to cream with the sugar.
- Grind the almonds finely to achieve a smoother texture in your cupcakes.
- Don't skip the self-raising flour as it ensures the cupcakes rise properly.
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor.
- Zest the oranges before juicing them to avoid wasting any part of the fruit.
- If you prefer a stronger almond flavor, you can lightly toast the almonds before grinding them.
- To make the syrup, combine the orange juice with a bit of sugar and heat until slightly thickened, then pour over the cupcakes while they are still warm for a delicious glaze.
