Dreamy Orange Lactose-Free Cupcakes Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 20 min. + cooling

Yield: 24 Servings

25 20 45

Ingredients

6 egg whites
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup vanilla soy milk
1/3 cup canola oil
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup thawed orange juice concentrate, divided
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
Assorted sprinkles, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, beat the egg whites, eggs, sugar, soy milk, oil, applesauce and 1/3 cup orange juice concentrate until well blended. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into egg mixture just until blended.
Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For glaze, in a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and remaining orange juice concentrate. Dip cupcakes into glaze; decorate with sprinkles if desired. Let stand until set. Yield: 2 dozen.

llynettew18: Seeing how egg whites tend to dry out cakes/cupcakes, I suggest to decrease the amount of egg whites and see if that helps.

I made these for my niece who has a milk allergy. Turns out, the cupcakes are pretty gross. I recommend looking for a different recipe. The cupcakes are too stiff and the glaze is very tart.

This would be great for my son, who has a milk allergy, except that he also has an egg allergy. I understand how to substitute for eggs when they are binders with applesauce, but how would you substitute for all the egg whites and whole eggs in this recipe?

I'm supposing real milk is all right for those of us allergic to soy, though? LOL
