Orange Chocolate Cupcakes



















Yield: 24-30 cupcakes

Cupcake
- any chocolate cupcake recipe (i used cake mix)

Orange Frosting
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 teaspoons flour
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- zest of 2 oranges

Directions:

1. Make chocolate cupcakes.

2. Put all the ingredients into a bowl, and mix with a hand mixer for about 10 minutes, until light and fluffy.

3. Let cupcakes cool before putting on frosting.

Notes: These cupcakes taste like Terry's Chocolate Oranges! I sprinkled red sparkles after frosting to make it more festive. I originally made the cupcakes for christmas family gathering at Auntie Yolanda's but I made too many, so I brought the extras to church the next day.
