one (or two or three) for the weekend: almost flourless valrhona chocolate mini-cupcakes with a squidge of double cream and fresh raspberry. my take on the fabulous chockylit's take on the inimitable clotilde's chocolate cake.
follow the links to the recipe, but bake for 10 minutes only, then keep in the oven for 10 minutes with the door closed before removing them to cool. so very simple, and i promise you, one of the best chocolate cupcakes (mini or otherwise) you'll ever have.
Preetttyyy..!!
ReplyDeletehi mama bok--they look like little jewels....
ReplyDeleteHi Santos,
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be on a major cupcake fix these days...how interesting.
I like cupcakes because it's so much easier to control the portion sizes. That way, I won't get carried away...well, maybe if they were bite-sized like these I might. =)
i shall try these because i have a nice block of 70% chocolate to use!

ReplyDeletehi tg--thanks for such high praise! not sure it's deserved, but i'll take it :D
ReplyDeletehi maria--don't forget that the baking time is only 10 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave the tray in for 10 minutes to cool slowly so they don't collapse (they'll still taste great though). i used a squeezy bottle to fill the cups--much less messy. have fun!
hi chloe--aren't those such a lovely shade of red? the local restaurant supply place has white liners and these red ones. chocolate looks so attractive in them.
