It was a super hot day here in Guelph, Canada. But for me it was just fine because i am used to a hot and humid weather like Thailand.

I did plan to visit my old neighbor today and brought her some homemade cupcake. It had been 3 weeks that we haven't seen each other. Hot summer day, so something sweet, sour and fresh must be an idea. I ended up making an orange cupcake and topped with orange sauce and decorating it fresh summer fruits.

The cake is an orange spong cake which modified from the original recipie of vanilla sponge cake i have gotten from khun beebie blog (thank you so much ka). I added 2 tbsp of orange juice and whole grated orange zest to the cake. The orange sauce is made following the recipie of the original orange cake found at khun jum mae salim blog(thank you so much ka).  I use less sugar than the original recipie and i replaced the water and concentrate orange juice with the fresh orange juice with pulp. There wasn't enought orange sauce i made, so i topped another cupcakes with whipping cream, but still decorated with fresh summer fruits.

Here is the recipie:

Cake flour 140 g
Eggs 4
Sugar 140 g
Emulsifier agent for cake (sp) 10 g
