Ingredients

3 servings
  • Orange1 piece
  • Cocoa powder½ cup
  • All-purpose flour½ cup
  • Sugar½ cup
  • Egg1 piece

Steps

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the muffin tin with cupcake liners.

  2. Prepare the Orange: Zest the orange using a zester or grater, then juice it into a measuring cup. You should have about ¼ cup of juice.

  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cocoa powder, flour, and sugar. Whisk until well mixed.

  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, orange juice, and orange zest to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. The batter will be somewhat thick.

  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. Cool: Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
