    1/2 cup butter, room temperature
    1 1/4 cups sugar

    In a bowl, sift flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
    Add butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat at medium speed until mixture is light and airy.
    Reduce speed to low, add eggs in one at a time, mixing well.
    Add in half the orange juice and the ginger to the batter.
    Gradually add half the amount of dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated; add in remaining orange juice and remaining half of dry ingredients, mixing until batter is smooth (don't overmix).
    Fill the cupcake liners 2/3 full; bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cupcakes are springy to the touch and a pick comes out clean.
    Remove from oven and cool on wire rack for 10 minutes.
    Make the glaze: Add orange juice, lemon juice, and powdered sugar into a small saucepan on low heat, mixing for about 2 minutes until liquids slightly evaporate.
    Remove from heat and glaze cupcakes with a tablespoon each.
    Wait about 5 minutes for glaze to cool and harden before topping with peeled tangerine wedge.
