This cupcake is on my mind for quite a long time. I wanted to do a cake which has a combination of chocolate and orange, because these two are a combination made in heaven. Finally i got a chance to make these and it was delicious..

I used a plain cupcake batter recipe and added some orange zest to the batter to give the cupcake a orange aroma. Then i made a rich creamy orange chocolate frosting. It was a hit.
The cupcakes tasted so chocolaty with a hint of orange flavour coming through it. I liked it a lot. You can frost it with any of your favourite frosting.
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
