Hey Em, this is the only recipe I have typed up right now. Let me know though if you want a different flavour one and I'll type it up for you! x

Chocolate Orange cupcakes;

Makes 12 muffin case cupcakes;

115g good quality dark chocolate
90g unsalted butter at room temp
175g Caster sugar (preferably Golden)
Zest and juice of one orange (you need 75ml of juice)
2 large eggs
185g plain flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1tablesp semi-skimmed milk at room temp.

Preheat oven to 160 oC
Melt chocolate
Cream the butter, sugar and orange zest
Combine the flour, bicarb of soda, baking powder and salt in a seperate bowl
Mix the milk and orange juice in a jug (it will curdle, don't worry)
Add the chocolate to the creamed mix and beat until just combined, add 1/3 of the flour mix and beat until just combined. Add 1/2 the milk mix and beat again. Repeat these steps until all combined.
Spoon into your muffin cases.

For icing;
175g good quality dark chocolate
225g unsalted butter at room temp
1 tablesp semi-skimmed milk at room temp
1tsp good quality vanilla extract
250 icing sugar

Melt the chocolate
Beat the butter, milk, vanilla and icing sugar until smooth. If it's too runny keep beating as it'll thicken.

I got this recipe from "Cupcakes from the Primrose Bakery" Their normal chocoloate ones are amazing, better than chocolate orange I think x
