Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
11 ounces best-quality semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/8 teaspoon baking soda

  • In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and 8 ounces of chocolate. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat, and set aside.

Categories     Cakes/Cupcakes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (chopped (see note))
1/2 cup salted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
[Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Frosting] (or other frosting of your choice)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place a rack in the center of the oven. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the chopped chocolate and butter (you can do this on this stovetop also). Microwave for one minute. Stir. Continue microwaving at 30-second intervals, stirring after each time, until the chocolate and butter is melted and combined (don't overheat; microwave until just melted and smooth).
  • Stir in the sugar and vanilla until well-combined. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring or whisking vigorously after each addition.
  • Stir in the flour and salt.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 17-20 minutes, until just baked through; don't overbake. The cupcakes won't be domed like a normal cakey cupcake - they'll be flatter and more dense like a delicious brownie.
  • Remove the cupcakes to a cooling rack to cool completely. Frost as desired and chill until ready to serve.
