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. Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup baking cocoa |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
1 teaspoon grated orange peel |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 cup orange juice |
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, combine the mayonnaise, orange peel and vanilla; gradually add orange juice until blended. Stir into dry ingredients just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips (batter will be thick). 2. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 18-23 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 9 cupcakes. |
