Ingredients
- 2 oranges, - zest and juice
- 250 ml orange juice - you may not need all of this, see below
- 1 egg, - beaten well
- 90 ml vegetable oil
- 250 g plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 5 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 100 g sugar
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 190/375/gas 5. Line a muffin tin with paper or silicone cases (remember, muffin cases are bigger than cupcake cases, so if you're using a cupcake tray, this mix will probably make more than 12 and will need a little less cooking time).
-
Pop the zest & juice from the oranges in a jug, then top up with enough milk, water or orange juice to reach 250ml.
-
Add in the beaten egg and oil and stir well.
-
In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, bicarb and cocoa powder together. Add the sugar and mix to combine.
-
Pour the jug of wet ingredients into the bowl of dry, and quickly and smoothly fold them together.
-
Spoon into the awaiting cases and bake for 20 - 25 minutes until the tops spring back when pressed, and a skewer comes out clean.
-
Let cool fully before storing or freezing.
