Well I have come to the conclusion after making these cupcakes that I still don't like chocolate. Yes, you heard me, and you can pick your chin up off the desk now. And before I continue you are probably thinking, why in the hell did she choose a super chocolate cake for her week - well frankly because my husband LOVES chocolate and the week I host, it just happens to be his birthday week so it completely worked out!
Anyways, back to the cupcakes. YUM! (minus the chocolate). I loved these cupcakes and I'm not a huge cake person. I absolutely loved the cupcake mix and probably will be tweaking the cream filling a little bit, but overall they were a huge success. My 2 year-old also loved the fact that he got to taste the batter after it was made. He kept saying "bite, bite" just so he could get a taste.
Amanda was our host this week and she chose a great recipe. You can find it on herblogsite. Thank you Amanda for chosing a great treat this week (and fattening!). Jeff tooke them to work and gave them to my best friend Becky whom he works with and they were literally gone within five minutes!!! They were a hit!
One trick I did learn though - before you cut it down the middle, make sure the cake has cooled for a good 5 hours or so. I cut them for a picture after 24 hours and they worked perfectly!!!
