What to Serve
Chocolate Cupcakes




These are rich and moist. Our favourite variation is with chopped white chocolate, a sinful and fabulous taste.




Basic Batter:

1 cup (250 mL) whipping cream
12 oz (375 g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 oz (60 g) unsweetened chocolate, chopped
5 eggs
3/4 cup (175 mL) granulated sugar
1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp (2 mL) baking powder

1. Bring cream to boil in medium pot. Stir in chocolates and remove from heat. Stir cream and chocolate together until smooth. Leave to cool.

2. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).

3. Place eggs and sugar in a bowl. With an electric mixer whisk together until batter triples in volume and beaters leave a trail. Stir in chocolate mixture and beat together on low speed until incorporated.

4. Combine flour and baking powder and fold into mixture.

5. Place paper baking cups in large muffin tins. Divide batter between cups, filling almost to rim.

6. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Spread with icing when cool. Decorate with white or dark chocolate curls or edible flowers.
