Chocolate Orange Cupcakes
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 20 min. + cooling
YIELD: 9 cupcakes.
Chocolate and orange are perfect together in these fudgy morsels. To give them a moist brownie-like texture, I add mayonnaise. The cupcakes taste even better when served with a scoop of homemade ice cream. —Shirley Brazel, Coos Bay, Oregon
