These were delicious! I actually made them into mini-muffins and added a drizzle made from orange juice, powdered sugar, and orange extract.

These were really good. Must admit, made 12 cupcakes, not 14. Used a substitution for buttermilk (milk+cream of tartar). Will definitely make them again. Sort of like brownies. Yummy!!

Laura, make a recipe folder and choose the print option on the left side of the page, copy and paste it into a Word document and you won't have to worry about it disappearing from the site before you use it!
