Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 350 F.In a medium-sized mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.Add butter and mix on medium-low speed for three minutes. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together egg, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and beat on medium speed until just combined.Slowly add milk and mix on low speed until just combined. Fill mini cupcake liners 3/4 full.Bake for 12 minutes and then test to see if they are done. They are done when a toothpick comes out without wet batter stuck to it. If they are not done, test again in two minutes. If they are still not done, test again in another two minutes.When the cupcakes are done, remove them immediately from the tins and leave them on a cooling rack (or just on your counter if you don't own a cooling rack) to cool.Beat butter on high speed in a medium-sized mixing bowl for three minutes.Add powdered sugar a little bit at a time.Add jam.Pipe a swirl onto cooled cupcakes using a large round tip. I used Wilton tip number 1A, but if you don’t have a tip, you can just cut the end off of a sandwich bag.Place the cupcakes in the freezer for 20 minutes or until the frosting is frozen solid.Place chocolate chips and oil into a tall microwave-safe cup (I used a two cup Pyrex measuring cup).Microwave for twenty seconds at a time (stirring in between) until all of the chocolate is melted.Take the frosted cupcakes out of the freezer. One by one, grab the cupcakes by their wrappers, turn them upside-down, and dunk them into the cup of melted chocolate - making sure that all of the frosting gets covered. (If you listen carefully, you may be able to hear them squealing, “Wheeee!”) Let the cupcakes hover over the cup of chocolate until all of the excess chocolate drips off.Sprinkle with orange zest while the chocolate is still wet.Refrigerate until ready to eat.
