Chocolate Orange Cupcakes

Cupcakes 

Can you believe I had never baked cupcakes before last week? When I stumbled upon this delicious recipe about a month ago, I went out and got a cupcake tray, cupcake paper, and a bag of powdered sugar. Most of the ingredients were already in my pantry!

Cupcakes in Tray

Cupcake Ingredients:

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • orange juice
  • oil
  • 1/2 orange, zested

Frosting

Icing Ingredients:

  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 8 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 orange, zested

Single Cupcake

For cupcakes, follow the directions on the cake mix box, only replacing water with orange juice. Add in the orange zest, too. This should make about two dozen cupcakes.

The frosting is super easy, also. Just mix all the ingredients until they’re nice and smooth. Add orange juice three tablespoons is not enough to get a workable frosting.
