Chocolate Explosion Cupcakes
This cupcake was created out of the fact I wasn’t perfectly happy with my previous triple chocolate cupcake. While that cupcake is absolutely delicious, it wasn’t completely what I had in mind when I set out. However, this cupcake fixes everything I didn’t like about my previous incarnation. The base is light and airy and captures the dark chocolate flavor perfectly. The frosting is a milk chocolate cream cheese frosting that compliments the dark chocolate cake well. Then to finish it off I’ve included a white chocolate ganache drizzle that brings a slightly different chocolate flavor to the mix. The resulting combination is the perfect chocolate explosion in your mouth!
The frosting on this cupcake is the best chocolate frosting I have ever tasted. I had no idea when I set out that a good chocolate frosting was hard to come by. I’ve made several and each time I’m not completely happy, they are good, but just not quite what I had in mind. This frosting though…oh man! I could eat this all day, by the cupful! It is tangy, chocolaty and sweet. This is pretty much the perfect frosting. On its own its good, but once paired with the dark chocolate cupcake it really is fantastic.
