ORANGE CUPCAKES - BREAKFAST PACK

A friend asked for moist orange cake, I  don't have the recipe of hand...goggle a round and I found this. An orange cake recipe that is easy to make and results in a super moist and rich cake. 

A little bit sweet but if you plan for frosting I would suggest reducing the sugar to 3/4 cup/ You can use your favourite frosting and orange glaze would definitely be awesome.
