Orange Sponge Cupcakes (香橙海棉小蛋糕)

Recently seen alot of bloggers baking Orange Sponge Cupcakes. As I have alot of oranges at home, so I have decided to bake this too. As I just came back from my holidays, therefore I want to bake something simple and easy to get rid of all the oranges.
This light and luscious Orange Sponge Cupcake make a delightul dessert after a heavy meal. I like mine to be served with a cup of Earl Grey Tea. It's really light and tasty and I love that it used both the rind and juice of one orange. And I love it been it's quick and easy.
