I am beyond stoked that Cupcake Season has arrived!!!
How or Why is it cupcake season?
Well the days are getting longer (Thank you God!!)
The temps are getting warmer (Even though we didn't really have a Winter, ugh)
Flowers are blooming
Yes... I know this sounds like Spring. Which is exactly what Cupcake Season is too!!
My husband and I LOVE cupcakes. Well any treats.
My husband and I LOVE molten chocolate lava cake.
Sorry...delay... had to snap out of my melted chocolate fairy tale
Solution: Cupcakes + Molten Lava Chocolate Cake = Ecstasy to the extreme!!
(sorry for incorporating my math geekiness, but I love it too!)
Start with butter and chocolate. Duh. Anything good starts with this combo! = )
6oz semi sweet and 1 cup butter
Melt this goodness over a double boiler. Slowly. Take yo time..do it right! = )
Coolio this mixture once melted.
Next mix up the necessaries:
1 Cup Flour, 1 3/4 Cup Sugar, FOUR eggs, 2 tsp. vanilla, and 1/4 tsp salt
Pause. Heat the oven up to 350!
Ok back to the necessities
Hello Yellow.
After the chocolate cools, mix it with the dry ingredients.
Pop it into a cupcake liner and throw in the oven for 12-15 minutes.
Do NOT overcook
1. These are not the prettiest (don't judge a cupcake by it's form!)
2. They will sink in the middle
Don't over overcook.
Last IMPORTANT step. Take out of oven and dig spoon in to eat melted choco heaven!!
Yup. Total.Choco.Heaven.
Happily Sweetly After....
Serious. Todd ate 4 for an appetizer one night.
My Dad ate 4 after dinner one night.
Psycho? I think not!!
Just don't share if you have co-pilots like I do!!
Bake away my friends!! = )
