Chocolate cupcakes

Saturday, November 14th, 2009 | Cooking

Recently, my youngest sister wanted to bake these ‘advanced’ cupcakes, so she asked whether I would bake them with her. Never avoiding a chance to bake with others, I immediately agreed, and we had a lot of fun preparing, decorating, and not least eating the cakes.

It’s a fairly standard chocolate cake with whipped egg whites carefully folded into the chocolate batter. After a good bake we piped butter frosting over the cupcakes and drizzled candied violet over it.

Looking closely we can see the small pieces of candied violet better:

Normally I don’t fancy cupcakes too much as I think they have a tendency to become a bit too dry, but these were very good. Yummy.

Oh, the wonderous things one can make out of butter! A standard chocolate muffin will, evidently, look much more intriguing with the butter frosting put on it.

Dark chocolate is my favorite kind of chocolate. Chocolates have some natural antioxidants too.*;”
