In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar, oil, orange juice and extract. Combine dry

until toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
For frosting, combine brown sugar, butter and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over
medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in
vanilla. Cool to lukewarm. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until frosting
reaches spreading consistency. Frost cupcakes.
