My husband actually likes the way the chocolate cupcakes turned out, I think they taste like brownies. I wanted to make a football field with the cupcakes for my Superbowl dessert..had to resort to plain Jane cupcakes.
Chocolate Cupcakes:
2/3 cup all -purpose flour
2 1/2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped ( I only had milk chocolate)
1/2 cup plus 3 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp sugar
3 large eggs, at room temp
1 tsp vanilla extract
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350f. Line standard 12 cup muffin pan with paper or foil liners.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Place the chocolate and butter in a large heatproof bowl set over (but not touching) simmering water in a saucepan. If you have a double boiler like I used, it works great. Stir frequently until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove the bowl from the saucepan; let mixture cool to room temp.
Using wooden spoon, stir the sugar into the chocolate mixture until combined. Stir in eggs one at a time, beating until combined after each addition, and then beat in the vanilla. Gently fold in the flour mixture just until no traces of flour remain; do not over mix.
Divide the batter into muffin cups. Bake 22-24 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool in pan on wire rack for 5 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to the wire rack and cool completely.
Hope you have a better experience then I did!! My husband plans on taking the insides warming them up and eating with vanilla ice cream. Like I said it taste like brownies and he loves his brownies!
Until my next adventure in the kitchen..Keep warm!
