Cupcakes!

[Skyewillow]

I'm making some cupcakes <3 Absolutely the best thing that's bad for you!

2 sticks of butter (a bit excessive, I know)
2 oz baker's chocolate
1/2 c cocoa powder

put the above in a double boiler, until the baker's chocolate is melted and mixture smooth. remove from heat.

2 eggs
3/4 c sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt

mix the above. Once the chocolate has had a chance to cool a bit, add to sugar & eggs mix

3/4 c flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
(you're supposed to use 3/4 tsp baking powder here too, but I never do)

Add 1/3 of the flour mix to the chocolate,
add 1/2 c sour cream mix well
Add the rest of the flour

Bake 350 degrees, 18-20 mins

(if you're feeling froggy, you can tuck a strawberry into the cupcakes before you pop them into the oven)

LOL!! I some times fill one with a pepper. We then play a game. There are 12 cupcakes, one with the pepper. Line them up in a row then have each person (up to 4) roll a dice. Which ever number the dice lands on, you HAVE to eat that cupcake, even its the peppercake. Whoever eats the peppercake is disqualified and can't participate in the next round.

Just a note: If using the fruit, reduce the amount of butter, or you'll end up with butter on the bottom when they cool....

life lesson learned LOL
