[LIsaP]

Hi!

I promised my sister I would make her chocolate cupcakes for her b-day dinner tonight. I had torn out a recipe from one of the magizines, but when I went to look at it I realized that I did not cup out the whole recipe!
Can anyone help??
Thanks!

Lisa - do you know which issue the recipe is from? I searched MC and found three chocolate cupcake recipes: Chocolate Coconut Cupcakes (1997), Double Chocolate Cupcakes (1998), and Chocolate Cupcakes (1999).

I will post the just plain Chocolate Cupcake recipe below. Bt if it was one of the other two, let me know and I will be glad to post.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Cupcakes:
3/4 cup granulated sugar
5 tablespoons butter or stick margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fat-free milk
Frosting:
1 tablespoon butter or stick margarine
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons fat-free milk
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions.
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. To prepare cupcakes, beat first 3 ingredients at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended (about 3 minutes). Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt, stirring well with a whisk. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture alternately with 1/2 cup milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture; mix after each addition.

3. Spoon the batter into 12 muffin cups lined with paper liners. Bake at 350 degrees for 22 minutes or until cupcakes spring back easily when touched lightly in the center. Cool in pan 10 minutes on a wire rack, and remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.

4. To prepare frosting, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small, heavy saucepan over low heat. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons milk, and chopped chocolate, and cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and cool. Stir in the powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Spread frosting over cupcakes. Yield: 1 dozen (serving size: 1 cupcake).
