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.

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
