This week Kay made chocolate cupcakes at home. Here are the results:
More about the recipe in a minute, but in the middle of the night when making these, I realized we didn’t have that much in way of decor. I raided Jay’s candy, using some Finnish fruit animals to top off some of the cupcakes. Above you can see the pink lamb resting on chocolate-chocolate goodness,
I also used sprinkles–quite sparingly–and got compliments on my restraint. This example shows one of the more plentifully decorated cupcakes.
Now the recipe: I was a bit worried, having never made chocolate cuppies before, about making them chocolatey enough. I found tons of good recipes, lots of them with cocoa powder, but ended up using this one from Cupcake Fun. I simply used the recipe, and did not put extra chocolate chips on top as I planned to frost these babies with chocolate.
For frosting, I used a great recipe with sour cream, vanilla, chocolate chips and light Karo I can’t find the link right now since I found it on another computer, so I’ll add it soon!
