What is it about chocolate that make us weak in knees? Why does it make us smile from ear to ear and have uncontrollable cravings? Whatever the reason may be, I don’t think it matters much as long as we get our chocolate. I can proudly say that all of these symptoms, which are listed above, are exactly how I am feeling right now. Lets just say that I caught the chocolate ‘bug’ today.
It had been a while since I was feeling chocolate sick, a little like love sick but a whole lot less depressing. I wanted chocolate and I wanted it now. So I made chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting. As delicious as it sounds, it tasted even better. I think many people can agree with me that there is just something about that first bite of chocolate that makes everything better or your problems seem to fade away even if it's momentarily.
The recipe is simple, easy and problem free. Just how chocolate should be. The cake itself is a nice dense cake, not too sweet but just enough to make it a little sinful. But the real star of this cupcake is the frosting. When you make the chocolate buttercream, try to leave a little to frost your cupcakes. That’s how good the icing is, even by itself. So if you happen to catch the chocolate ‘bug’ remember to rest, take plenty of fluids and indulge in the best medicine out there; Chocolate.
Go on! Have a Petit Treat!

ReplyDeleteI saw this cake and frosting recipe, and decided to make it for Memorial Day. What a fabulous cake! It looked so beautiful coming out of the oven. It was SO moist, I can see how it would make awesome cupcakes. About the frosting, my husband said, "Wow. It melts in your mouth!" It was rich, but so, so, good!

ReplyDeleteButter cream frosting for sure. I have had them before and they are simply delicious. Cream cheese on a cupcake would be very odd. You should do white/vanilla cake with the whipped chocolate frosting. My and my mom's absolute favorite. My grandma makes Vanilla Cake with Chocolate Frosting every year for my birthday. :)
ReplyDeleteIt looked so beautiful coming out of the oven. It was SO moist, I can see how it would make awesome cupcakes. thanx for the wonderful post, looking forward.
ReplyDeleteHave a good taste to them, simple chocolate cupcakes. I frosted them with buttercream frosting. Mine didn't come out very moist, but that could have just been me.
ReplyDeleteExcellent cupcake recipe. It is nice and dense and not too sweet so it is perfect for loading with lots of frosting. Make sure you get the oven temperature right and measure accurately other wise they don't firm up as they should.
ReplyDeleteYUM! These cupcakes had a very chocolate-y, rich taste to them. They were crusty on the outside, and soft on the inside. I would definately use this recipe again. Just follow the recipe, and you'll have a guaranteed success in the world of cupcaked making!!!
ReplyDeleteI love how it is soft and not overly rich, yet chocolatey at the same time.
ReplyDeleteVery yummy! I topped it with mint buttercream frosting.
ReplyDeleteWell, I should have gone for quality over convenience with the chocolate. Gotta take care of this wicked craving, thanx for posting.
