Mmm Mmm Good!!

My name is Taina... and I'm a Chocoholic!

I mad THE most delicious cupcakes! You do have to LOVE chocolate to like these!

Here is the recipe...

1c. sugar

3/4c. cocoa

1c. milk

1 beaten egg

Mix the above ingredients in a soucepan. Stir and cook until it boils, then set aside.

3/4c. butter

2 eggs(unbeaten)

1c. sugar

Cream together the butter and sugar, then add eggs and mix well.

Add chocolate mixture. (it will be hot)

2c. flour

1/2c. milk

1tsp. baking soda

1tsp. vanilla

1/2tsp. salt

Mix dry ingrediants together. Measure milk into a cup and add vanilla. Add about half of the dry ingredients:mix then add milk mixture and mix. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix until blended. Put into cupcake tins about 2/3 full. (I use a icecream scoop to do this) Bake at 350 for 18 minutes. Let cool before frosting.

Frosting:

3/4c. cocoa

1/8tsp. salt

5 Tbsp. butter

5 Tbsp. milk

3c. powdered sugar

1tsp. vanilla

Melt cocoa and butter together in a saucepan. In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, salt milk, vanilla and chocolate mixture. Beat until smooth. (I like to use a lot of frosting, so I doubled the recipe) Fill a heavy duty ziplock bag (freezer one should work) with the frosting. Cut one of the bottom corners off and squeeze out the frosting into a swirl. (if you use a regular ziplock bag it will start oozing and make a huge mess...believe me!)

Wahlah! You have yummy and delicious Chocolate Cupcakes!
