Double Chocolate Cupcakes image

These are chocolate cupcakes with chocolate chips. They are flavored with orange juice; I just love the taste combo of chocolate and orange! To stay on the healthy side of things, they only use 3 T. oil for fat. And besides...we NEED the bioflavanoids in chocolate, right? Er, uh, or whatever those health people said.

Time 27m

Yield 10 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup mini chocolate chip
1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine dry ingredients. Make a well in the middle.
  • In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients, including the 1/3 cup water.
  • Put wet mixture in the well of dry ingredients. Stir just until moistened.
  • Fold in chips. Use a light hand; a heavy hand leads to heavy cupcakes.
  • Use cupcake liners for muffin pans. Fill about 2/3 full with batter. Any empty muffin holders should be filled half full with water. Do not just put under the sink to do this. Put water in a something with a lip, like a liquid measuring cup, and use that. (Yes, I learned this the hard way.).
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes. Leaving on the liners, remove from pans immediately. Cool on racks.
  • Number of muffins really depends on how full you fill your tins.
  • Sprinkle tops with confection's sugar, if desired.
