Today I plan on making some Martha Stewart recipe chocolate cupcakes. Half the batch with cream cheese frosting and the other half with a recipe for peanut butter frosting that sounds delicious, courtesy of Joy the Baker. And you know she does no wrong. Funny enough, I was suppose to make these bad boys yesterday...but how do you say, hmmm, laziness got in the way. So instead, after a dinner of chicken Parmesan ravioli, baby spinach salad with raspberry vinaigrette and a french loaf dipped in olive oil, I popped in a chocolate loaf cake by Nigella Lawson (the Queen) into the oven, drizzled it with caramel and topped it with raspberries and a modest dose of sugar. With cold milk, it was bliss. Anyone interested in the recipe? Of course you are! Post to follow. But enough about my eating habits last night...
I need to know if you spies have a good cupcake recipe I should try. Martha is great and all, but I'm feeling like a drone. Martha, Martha, Martha. Time to mix it up a bit. Anyone have a stellar chocolate cupcake recipe? Or maybe a eccentric flavor, something new and different but refreshing...and well, male approved?xoxo
mmm so in dire need of one of those cupcakes right now. looks so delicious.

I just had cupcakes yesterday!! They were just plain vanilla with Cream cheese icing and sprinkles (I'm not the greatest baker in the world, but I'm getting there). Actually, I'm pretty obsessed with cupcakes. You have no idea.
ReplyDeleteGosh, that picture makes me hungry! I have no suggestions for cupcake recipes at the moment, but if I do, I'll come back and tell you! Great post :))

ReplyDeleteYum! What book is that in the picture? Is that 500 cupcakes? If not, you should check it out, it is such a cute book with great photos!
ReplyDeletethis is my absolute favorite chocolate cake recipe and i am sure you could easy transfer it to a cupcake pan with a little adjustment of the cooking time :)

I love the Martha Stewart cupcakes book. I adapted my cupcake recipe...I use Stork butter/ marg for baking instead of proper butter which is good - not sure if you have it in the US. I go for the Nigella method- chuck it all in the mixer and blitz...200g self raising flour, 200g stork, 200g sugar, 3 eggs, splashes of milk!

ReplyDeleteI recommend cupcakeblog.com. She has SO many cupcake recipes it's ridiculous, and lots of them are made from/with things you wouldn't normally think of putting in cupcakes. When I feel like experimenting, I always check her out. She has a few yummy chocolate ones, too :)
