Steps
Cupcakes
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350 °F) (350°F (180 °C)). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Combine the melted butter, sugar, eggs, milk, and hot espresso in a mixing bowl.
Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until the cupcake batter is combined, taking care not to overmix.
Add the orange zest and mix it through the batter.
Divide the batter among the 12 cupcake liners.
Bake at 180°C (350 °F) (350°F (180 °C)) for approximately 25–30 minutes.
Allow the cupcakes to cool before frosting. The source does not specify a cooling duration.
Frosting
For the frosting, ensure the cream cheese, whipping cream, icing sugar, and other frosting ingredients are at room temperature.
Combine the room-temperature cream cheese, whipping cream, icing sugar, melted dark chocolate, and cocoa powder to make the frosting. The source does not specify the mixing technique or duration.
Spread or pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes and serve.
Notes
The source provides the ingredient quantities and baking temperature/time but does not specify the batter-mixing order, cupcake cooling time, or frosting mixing technique. Frosting ingredients are to be at room temperature. The orange-zest flavor is also referenced in the video text.
