Chocolate Orange Cupcakes

Ingredients:
220g Self Rasing Flour
220g Caster Sugar
220g Butter
50g Coco Powder
4 Eggs

Buttercream Frosting:
125g Butter
300g Icing Sugar
1 tsp Valenican Orange Extract
Orange Food Colouring

To Make:

Preheat your oven to 180°C.  In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter and caster sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Gradually add in the eggs and fold the flour and cocoa powder into the cupcake mixture. Spoon the mixture evenly into 12 paper cases and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until golden. 

For the buttercream frosting beat the butter until smooth and gradually sieve the icing sugar, mixing until combined. Once the buttercream frosting is smooth add the teaspoon of valenican orange extract and a few drops of orange food colouring. Pipe the buttercream on top of each cupcake and decorate to taste, I used a segment of a Terry's Chocolate Orange and sugar paper skulls.
