Tonight I made chocolate cupcakes, another test recipe. The cupcakes were really good. I made vanilla bean buttercream frosting. Unfortunately, I decided to use silicone muffin pans without muffin cups, and they stuck horribly to the pan. I will make these again, but I’ll use muffin tin liners next time. They were pretty easy to make, only 45 minutes from start to finish.
- Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Bean Buttercream Frosting (Test Recipe)
I will do these over Thanksgiving. I like that the recipe is only for 12.
I thought cupcakes were supposed to tumble right out of those silicone pans?
I thought so too, that’s why I didn’t use muffin liners! My experience with silicone bakeware so far has not been positive.
The cupcakes are not too sweet. I used Vahlrona chocolate. They have a nice chocolatey taste and I would like them best without frosting, I think.
