This cupcake is FANTASTIC! I used fresh squeezed o.j. and white chocolate chips that I rolled in flour before folding them in to the batter. The topping is so easy and buttery yummy. This is a winner!

I made these last weekend for Easter, and they were a hit! Since they are not frosted, we ate them for breakfast like muffins.

Probably the best tasting cupcakes that i have made so far. Followed the directions to a T and it came out moist and delicious. 4 out of 5 people who tried them said they would prefer it without the orange wedges. I think i might have to agree..OR i may chop up the oranges so there wouldnt be hunks of oranges in each cupcake next time. When i made these i gently folded the oranges into the batter so they kept its shape which is the only thing we didnt care for. Nonetheless, still REALLY good.

These were a big hit! I loved them!!!! I used orange juice instead of oranges, and they were great!

Yummy! Very Moist. The only thing I did differently was to replace the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda with Self-raising flour (it's the same thing anyway just already prepared) and I chopped up the mandarin segments so they weren't too big. Delish! Thanks for the recipe.

My nephew/godson started kindergarten this year. His birthday was 9/18 and as his godmother I wanted to be a part of his special day at school. Since his favorite fruit is mandarin oranges, I did a google search and found this recipe. What a hit! I did modify the topping- I used buttercream icing and colored the coconut in red and blue (the Buffalo Bills are his favorite team and that was his special request) and sprinkled on the buttercream. The kindergarten class at Port Allegany Elementary School (in PA) gave them two thumbs up!!! I am going to try substituting the oranges with raspberries and see how that tastes..

The topping is way too sweet. My boyfriend seemed to enjoy them. I was expecting a more orange flavor than anything and you could hardly taste them. Won't make again

These are fantastic! They are light and very tasty. It worked best to cut up the orange segments. This is not a heavy cupcake and it is not too sweet.

I left out the chocolate chips, and instead of putting the coconut on before baking, I mixed it with a Tbsp of butter and some confectioners sugar to make a glaze and "frosted" them right when they came out of the oven. Totally delicious!! Even a few days later they were very moist and yummy - more like a sweet muffin that a cupcake.
