Orange Delight Cakes

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease two muffin tins or line them with paper cups.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and orange zest.

Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar until pale yellow and frothy.

Slowly pour in the orange juice, melted butter, and vanilla extract; blend until smooth.

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gradually, stirring gently to avoid overmixing.

Spoon the batter into the prepared molds, filling each about halfway, and bake for 13–14 minutes.

Immediately sprinkle with crystallized sugar and return to the turned-off oven for 2 minutes.

Let the cakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
