this recipe was sent to me from melissa at melmo's world. i thought it sounded like a
great way to start off the week. while i havent tried this out just yet i already know
that i will love it. i have a crush on quick breads and muffins, especially if they have
chocolate chips in them! yum. i am so ready for this time of year, all the baking and
stewing and roasting makes the house smell so good and puts a smile on my face.

what is "zest of orange" and is a recipe way less cool if you don't use it?
Sounds good. But what is castor sugar?
beth - zest is when you grate a bit of the orange peel off and yes you must use it to get the nice orangey flavor
elizabooth - i googled castor sugar and it is the superfine baking sugar. not as fine as powdered sugar, but said to dissolve quicker than regular sugar. not sure if you have to do this, i plan to use regular sugar.
elizabooth and hannah,
because the recipe is from the land down under (australia) it specifies castor sugar, because here most people use raw sugar in coffee, cooking etc. so any white sugar will do the job just fine.
looks delicious. reminds me of the mocha valencia at starbucks. YUM!
