Orange Almond Cupcakes made with Yellow Cake Mix and frosted in yummy mango-orange cream cheese frosting and a mandarine slice. I made these to keep my mind of Hurricane Irene!

- Oil as directed on box
- Substitute Orange-mango OJ for water
- Add 2/3 C blanched almond slices
- 3 large eggs as directed
- Can or Jar of sliced Mandarine orange segments
Frosting:
- 1 Stick butter+1Box Cream Cheese+1 Box Powdered Sugar
- Mango OJ - a few tablespoons
- Make cake mix as directed substituting Mango OJ for water and toss in a handful (about 2/3 Cup) of sliced blanched almonds.
- Mix Batter thoroughly and pour into Pam-sprayed cupcake papers (in a cupcake pan).
- Push a single,small mandarine slice into the batter in each cupcake.
- Bake at 350, according to directions, mine took about 20 minutes (on convect =325).
- Let cool totally and frost with Cream Cheese/Butter/ Box of Powdered sugar, and enough Mango-OJ to get a stiff frosting.I used a bag with a big star tip.
- Top each cupcake with a single mandarine slice.

I used a slice of Mandarine Orange to flavor the batter. Using Orange Supreme Cake Mix would be fabulous. I even toyed with adding a few drops of Mandarine Napoleon Liqueur to the frosting! We love Orange flavors.
