Melissa chose Whole Orange Poppy Seed Cake. And yes, we used the WHOLE ORANGE. The recipe can be found @ Lulu the Baker.
You can also use lemons for this recipe as well, but with all the lemony things I've been making, i went with the orange. Instead of the Kitchenaid mixer, you need a food processor. Pulse the entire orange -- rind & all --- with some sugar.
Until all big chunks are no more.
Instead of one big loaf, I made cupcakes. Baked for 25 minutes. The batter made 12 nice-sized cupcakes, filled to the top (they didnt rise much). I didnt make the glaze. I left them plain.
I REALLY, REALLY like this recipe. Its very different. I never had anything like this. As a cupcake, it was super moist (probably cause of 1.5 sticks of butter!)! You taste the orange & poppy -- a very nice combination.
The ONLY thing i didnt like (as with anything using poppy seeds): the lil seeds always get stuck in your teeth. Still --- i'd definitely make this again! GREAT CHOICE, MELISSA!

They look fabulous! Great job! I haven't had a chance to make these yet - other baking obligations over the weekend - but I really want to! Everyone seemed to love this recipe...
I enjoyed this recipe too! Unlike you, I'll add poppy seeds the next time that I make it, because I felt like something was missing when I didn't add them this time.

Your story pictures turned out GREAT! I love the bright citrus colors, poppy seeds, and the liners!
I really want ONE. OK, maybe two. ;)
Hi Karen!
Your cupcakes are adorable and look perfectly delicious! Thanks for including the baking time, so that if I decide to try it in that format I'll know about how long it'll take. I love that you included some pictures of the baking process, too!
Hope to talk to you again soon :)

Thanks for your sweet words about my blog and shop! It is so nice to feel like someone stops by every now and then. I love the idea of cupcakes; they would be perfect for a brunch!
Great photos Karen!! I thought it was so much fun to pulse the orange in the food processor to break it up. Fun idea to make cupcakes - they look awesome! I liked this recipe a lot too.
