Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.

2. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar and vanilla powder until fluffy.

3. In a pan over medium heat, melt together the butter and saffron until liquid. Then, mix in the cream and continue to stir until combined.

4. In another large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Fold the butter mixture into the egg mixture, then fold in the flour mixture. Once flour mixture is mixed in, add orange chunks.

6. Pour the batter into cupcake tins, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 20 minutes.

7. To make the icing, beat the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, cream cheese, orange zest, and saffron water (or orange juice) together until fully mixed into a frosting-like consistency. After frosting the cooled cupcakes, garnish as desired or eat immediately because these are too good
