1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
1-1/2 cup White Sugar
1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
3/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
3/4 teaspoons Salt

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners; set aside.
2
For the cupcakes, sift together cocoa powder, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Add eggs, warm water, buttermilk, oil, and blood orange zest zest. Mix until smooth, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of bowl to assure batter is well mixed.
3
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full. Bake until tops spring back when touched, about 20 minutes, rotating pan once if needed. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
4
For the frosting, beat butter and powdered sugar together until well-mixed. Add milk, the juice and the zest and beat on high until light and fluffy (3 or 4 minutes). If the frosting is too thick, add more milk, a little at a time, and beat until incorporated.
5
Frost cupcakes as desired.
