These rich and delicious cupcakes are a true chocolate fix. Make some for your next dinner party or just for the one you love :) Ingredients:
9 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped |
1 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces |
1/2 cup sugar |
5 eggs |
1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour |
confectioners' sugar, for dusting |
whipped cream, for frosting (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F Grease an eight-count muffin tin, and line with cupcake papers.
2. In a saucepan, melt the chocolate, butter, and sugar over low heat. Stir frequently until the mixture is smooth.
3. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly-for 5 minutes. In a large bowl, beat the eggs together for about 1 minute.
4. Beat in the flour until incorporated, then slowly add the chocolate mixture until well blended.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Place the pan in a roasting pan and add enough boiling water to come 1/4 inch up the side of the pan.
6. Bake 25-30 minutes, until the edges of the cakes are set but the center is still soft.
7. Remove the foil and place the pan on a rack to cool. The center will sink slightly. Don't worry if the top cracks a bit.
