Being over worked and
very tired, getting home a bit late and realizing I still have to bake about 24
cupcakes, my body kicked into over drive mode. It was almost as if my body was
just moving, but my mind was already asleep. So it was a friends last day at
work and she wanted something chocolate, she loves chocolate, so the baking
cogs starting turning and my mind went on a whirl wind of ideas.
Naturally I make a
killer chocolate icing, so that has to top this cupcake, and in the middle a
creamy chocolate filled ball, and little chocolate chips inside this beauty and
I thought, bob’s you’re uncle. But being so tired I totally
forgot to add baking soda to a very trusted chocolate cupcake recipe. And to
top it off I added twice the amount of baking powder. And as I put these
beauties in the oven I realize this crucial fact. Oh boy now I start stressing,
thinking my word am I going to stand here the whole night? Now I have to remake
and re-bake more cupcakes. So I pour myself a glass of wine and wait for 20
minutes to be over.
With bated breath I pull
them out of the oven, they look perfect, almost oozing chocolaty goodness. This
being form the chocolate chips in the batter which created little pockets of
chocolate. I let them cool, and immediately try one...surprise surprise, they
are thick, moist and crunchy on the outside. My word it tasted like a love
affair between a cupcake and a chocolate brownie! YES it’s
a brownie cupcake, pure perfection, from what was supposed to be a complete
flop...
