Abby and I went on an adventure this weekend, taking a trip to her home 45 minutes away in order to bake a whole handful of tasty treats.
There's a secret to these. It's not an exciting secret, really, but that happens sometimes.
For the cupcakes, it's just a dark chocolate cake mix with a half teaspoon of mint flavoring. I know, disappointing really. Follow the directions on the box of your favorite brand.
Follow the instructions on the box regarding temperature and time.
The icing, though, that's the exciting bit.
Ingredients:
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon orange zest
First, get your friend to zest the orange for you. It's an awful lot of work, better to just delegate.
Then, mix the powdered sugar and butter together until smooth. Add the juice and zest, mixing well.
When cool, ice. I'd recommend letting the icing set up for a bit first, and cupcakes cool tremendously. I, as you can see, did not. Oh well, it can't always be perfect.
