Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
5 tablespoons white sugar, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup milk
2 ounces dark chocolate, melted
1 egg
1 orange, juiced
3 tablespoons white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
9 ounces confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed
2 ounces white chocolate, melted
1 orange, zested
4 ounces orange-flavored chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Mix flour, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, and baking powder together in a food processor. Add butter and pulse until combined.
  • Whisk milk, melted dark chocolate, and egg together in a measuring cup. Stir chocolate mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Heat orange juice and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar together over low heat until sugar has dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully spoon orange juice mixture over warm cupcakes and set aside to cool completely, 15 to 30 minutes more.
  • Beat 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Carefully stir in confectioners' sugar and continue to beat for 5 minutes. Beat in milk, melted white chocolate, and orange zest.
  • Decorate cooled cupcakes with icing.
  • Cut orange-flavored chocolate into shavings using a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler and use to decorate cupcakes.

These cupcakes were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the frosting.
