1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Line 12 standard muffin cups with paper liners.
  • In a small bowl, stir the cocoa powder into the hot water until it dissolves; set aside.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together into a bowl.
  • Using the finest rasps of a hand held grater, grate the zest from the orange into the bowl. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until well combined.
  • Whisk in the buttermilk and vanilla, then the dissolved cocoa.
  • Whisk in the melted butter, then the dry ingredients.

  • Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Remove the cupcakes from the pan.
  • To make the frosting, melt the chocolate in a double-boiler or in the microwave and let cool to room temperature.

Tips:

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate chips.
  • To make the cupcakes even more orange-y, add a teaspoon of orange zest to the batter.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the cupcakes tough.
  • Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full, as they will rise during baking.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them.
