Vegan Chocolate Orange (Jaffa) Cupcakes image

A recipe I found floating around on the internet, based on Jaffa candy, which I vegan-ized. We like to serve these with a simple chocolate buttercream icing in which the milk is replaced with orange juice. They're also great with your traditional chocolate buttercream, too!

CHOCOLATE ORANGE CUPCAKES (VEGAN)



Chocolate Orange Cupcakes (Vegan) image

I have found using my new muffin tin creates a diferent shape cupcake. My husband and I reckon the peak in the centre of the cupcake is caused by the metal tin reflecting heat focusing it in on the centre of the cupcake. I usually use silicone trays for my cupcakes. This recipe is from Vegan cupcakes takeover the world by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope. It can be frosted but I decided that would not be appropriate for these cakes as they were destined for a sick mother in law in hospital. I love the melt in your mouth texture of these cupcakes
