Beautifully fluffy. Perfect balance of light and sweet!
FOR THE CUPCAKES:
2/3 cup olive oil
1 15oz container full-fat (whole milk) ricotta
2 cups sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
1 tsp pure orange extract *
Zest from one orange plus 1 tbs of the juice
4 eggs
2.5 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
*if you don’t have orange extract or want to buy it, you can just use almond extract or just double the vanilla in its place, but try to use it! Its really a great thing to have, I use it a LOT in baking or even savory dishes. I personally love Neilsen-Massey products, but any brand will do.

8 oz (1 stick) butter, softened at room temp (not melted)
