Chocolate lovers rejoice! Today's cupcake is Devil's Food with Chocolate Ganache Frosting. I know, I know, you're all thinking, "Finally, some chocolate!". I promise you, these were worth the wait. I think we are really on to something here.
So what the heck is Devil's Food Cake? Well, in a nutshell Devil's food cake is generally more moist and airy than other chocolate cakes, and often uses cocoa (unsweetened chocolate) as opposed to chocolate for the flavor (Wikipedia told me so). Some recipes include coffee, but if you know me, you know I don't do coffee, so no coffee in these guys. I think they are called Devil's Food because they are sinfully delicious!
Brett & I agree that these are less sweet than regular chocolate cupcakes and we consider that to be a good thing! I made my first batch of mini cupcakes today too, and they are just darling. Tonight I want to tell you that sifting is a good thing (if you read my last post, you understand why I am telling you this).
With chocolate on my elbow, in my wedding ring, and in my hair, I can say that although these were a lot of work, they were worth it. I'm even pleased with the chocolate curls on top!
I hope you enjoyed today's cupcakes and will continue to follow my blog! We are working on a website so watch for that soon. Have a wonderful evening :)
