Another Ellie, The Food You Crave! Page 282. Don't they just look delicious? If you are looking for a super sticky sweet dessert though... this isn't for you. It's described as the chocolate cupcake from your childhood all grown up. The frosting is really not sweet at all, it has a nice intense espresso flavor, almost a bit bitter, so if you like coffee, you'll like these... if you want total sweet... I'd skip the frosting for sure. The cupcake was ok... but nothing amazing, unfortunately, ... but they sure do look pretty :)
YOU are killing me. You pick out the best recipes and then make them look sooo good. Love mocha and chocolate. and the frosting, yikes!!!

CB- totally give them a try! In her book it's actually a cake... but who says you can't adapt into cupcakes!! Ellie rocks :D
ReplyDeleteoh boy does this look good. It has the perfect amount of frosting. I can't stand cupcakes that have more frosting then cake. It just makes my teeth hurt. :)
