Chocolate & Orange cupcakes

These don't look the prettiest, but if you love the chocolate and orange combo, you'll love these. The trex makes them so soft and the orange juice gives them a nice gooey texture. 

Makes 12 small cupcakes or 8 large muffin size cakes

120g/4oz plain flour 
140g/5oz caster sugar 
1 tsp baking power
40g/1½oz Trex
50g/2oz dark chocolate melted and cooled slightly
1 egg 
125ml/4fl oz milk 
Juice of 1 orange 
3 tbsp granulated sugar

2. Mix the flour, caster sugar and baking powder together in a food processor. Add the trex and pulse until combined.
3. Whisk the melted chocolate, egg and milk together in a jug.
4. Stir the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture until just combined.
5. Spoon the mixture into the cases and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until risen and golden-brown and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.

✔️Top tip: you can swap the trex for unsalted butter if you don't have any in the fridge
