Deep Chocolate Cupcakes
August 15, 2012
We all have our foolproof ways of comforting ourselves whenever we experience less than divine moments. For the most part, food always comes in handy, comfort food to be specific.
Cupcakes nowadays have an array of patterns, designs, and whatnot. But I just want to drive home the fact that chocolate cupcakes have been, and will always be, a hit. Simple, but it does the trick.
You could even play with this recipe and put some designs on top, say, a shark fin! That would be a delightful and delectable way to celebrate Shark Week.
| Deep Chocolate Cupcakes • 6 large prunes, pitted • 3 large egg whites • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour • 3/4 cup sugar • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar Preheat oven to 350°. Line 12 2-3/4-inch muffin cups with paper liners. In food processor, puree prunes and 1/2 cup water until smooth. Scrape puree into large bowl. With electric mixer, beat together prune puree and 1/2 cup water. Add egg whites and vanilla; beat until thoroughly combined. Stir in remaining ingredients; mix completely. Spoon batter evenly into prepared cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Remove from pan; cool on rack. Sprinkle evenly with powdered sugar. |
Enjoy! 🙂
