Very cool site! Your cupcakes look amazing. One question though, do you bake the batter in little portion cups so that you don’t have to use a muffin pan? Do they come out easily from the cups?

Great picture. I certainly hope all these posts become a cupcake book someday soon. Hey, you could even publish it yourself via lulu.com.

julie - i have been experimenting with the portion cups because i think they are cute. they stand up by themselves, i just line them up on a sheet pan. they are a little trickier to eat from though. they are hard to tear apart so most people were squeezing the cupcakes out and eating them, which seemed to work fine. i have 3.5 ounce cups as well, and they were a bit easier to deal with then the 1 ounce cups.

chubby hubby - i have been thinking about that in fact. i didn’t know about lulu.com though, thanks for the tip!

addie - i provided a link to the recipe that is from someone else’s blog. seemed like the right thing to do (as opposed to reprinting the recipe). thanks!

Thanks for the scoop on the portion cups. That was a brillant idea!

I too am cupcake obsessed. I wrote a cupcake book that came out earlier this year. So professionaly speaking, your cupcakes rock! I can’t wait to see what you do next.

Chockylit, your Devil’s Food and Chocolate Buttercream recipie worked great for me, a total moron. I can’t wait to try your other recipies now, although I’ll be sticking with the simplier ones. Thanks for helping to make my bake sale a success!

Is the baking time the same for the cupcakes? Also, about how much did you spoon into each cup? They look fab by the way…

Oops. I forget how long I baked them for. Sorry! Generally, it takes about 75% of the time. I filled these about 3/4’s full.

So delicious and so easy! This is a great recipe to toss together before a party. I replaced the cherries on top with chocolate shavings. They looked smashing!

Hi - I’d love to try these cupcakes for a birthday party as well, but do you think they will work in a conventional cupcake pan? And, how long would you recommend to cook them for? Thanks!

Yes they should. 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Hi Chockylit!
Would it work if i used regular sized cupcake papers, or would the cupcakes come out gooey and oozy in the middle?
Thanks!

Hi! I thought this recipe looked too delicious to simply pass by, so tonight I finally tried it.

Everything went smoothly. The batter was pretty grainy from the sugar but judging by the way everything was combined, it seemed to be alright. So, I popped them in the oven (I chose to make minis) and when I pulled them out they weren’t quite right. I mean, they were completely baked, but all of the tops were pock-marked from air bubbles rising and bursting through. The tops were also flat, but everything was mixed properly so there wasn’t any pooling involved.

I realize it would be really difficult to give me an exact diagnosis, but I was wondering if there were any tell-tale signs that I had done something incorrectly. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

i made this for the first time for a friend’s “despedida” party and even the kiddos loved it! it’s so rich (i used 71% valrhona), you are right (but of course) to make them mini cupcakes. i tried 6 of your recipes by now, and they are all great. my favorite(s) so far is the lavender and classic chocolate cake. keep blogging ‘them cupcakes!!
