I'm looking for an awesome scratch chocolate cupcake recipe. I've had really good luck with Hershey's Cocoa Powder for cakes recipe in the past, but I can't recall if the texture is right for cupcakes. These are for an evening baby shower, and they'll be topped with a fluffy vanilla buttercream.
I know everyone's gaga over red velvet, and I did try the NYTimes natural/beet recipe for those today. However, I found them unsatisfying in the chocolate arena (and too beet-y for a non-natural-foods audience, but maybe it was my beets or something), and that won't do when my pregnant friend is craving chocolate! So, I've landed back on looking for a recipe that's super chocolaty without being too rich and heavy once frosting is added.
What say you, fellow bakers?
