Choc Orange Cupcake Recipe

Chocolate and Orange go so well together.

And it is many people's favorite, including my sister. I made these choc orange cupcakes and she loved the recipe.

We covered them with Dark Chocolate Ganache, for a choc-aholic dream.

If you don't have any almond meal - you could use hazelnut meal.
