Chocolate Cupcakes with Buttercream Icing

<

I have finally started trying a few of the recipes in the Martha Stewart “Living” that came out in January.  The issue has a number of fabulous cupcakes with pictures and recipes.  If you missed the issue, check for it at your local library.

The first cupcake recipe I tried was the “One Bowl Chocolate Cupcakes”. This recipe has received a lot of fanfare on the Internet.  It has been listed by many cooking bloggers as their favorite chocolate cupcake.  Needless to say, that was enough for me to try it out.

I am a huge fan of Martha Stewart… but not a huge fan of these cupcakes.  I would go so far as to say that I have made many cakes from a box that I liked better (gasp!).

Now, in Martha’s defense, I should note that I have read that there are many variations of this recipe floating around.  The recipe in the magazine is supposed to be different from the one in her baking book…which is not the same as the one she has in another cookbook.

Typically, I would not make these again.  However, sooooo many bloggers have remarked that these cupcakes are outstanding.  Did I make a mistake in the production of these dark little treats?  Maybe I should try the one in her baking cookbook. I owe that to Martha .
