Pleasurable morning of baking a light, sweet, airy cupcake! I used my designer cupcake liners from Fancy Flours to kick off the project!
Dark Chocolate Frosting:
I halved the recipe because I could not see myself using five cups of frosting that required 4 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter and 1 1/2 pounds of semi-sweet chocolate. I am too cheap to buy the best quality semi sweet chocolate, so I just used Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips. It worked out just fine according to compliments from friends and family.
Scott, my handsome and loving husband of 14 years prefers his desserts to be cold. I put his cupcake in the freezer before serving. He exclaimed after the first bite, "This is unreal, it tastes like candy!" "Whoa...the cupcake broke da mouth!" Pidgin (Hawaiian creole) translation: Very delicious!
