The filling is cream cheese and chocolate chips. Heaven. I think we have it scanned, if you want to compare.

Plus our friend is a huge chocolate fiend, so I thought the slightly dark chocolate frosting was a nice contrast to the sweeter center. But yeah, all an excuse for total overindulgence. :) Like I wrote, I NEVER bake, so if I’m making something, we’re going all out.

You go! They looked delish, and your friend and LG looked pretty excited. I'd definitely give a look to the Joy of Cooking and to the other recipe on Smitten Kitchen (which is a GREAT food blog) to see if the amounts are a little friendlier than my halves. I'm forever grateful for whoever taught me that 2 Tbl = 1/8 cup, and 4 Tbl = 1/4 cup. So useful. I visited your site–chocolate plus filling plus frosting, plus sprinkles?! You go!

I just made these for a friend--but from The Joy of Cooking. I do believe you've found the recipe used there through your trial and error--lower oven temperature, and I made an even dozen (they call for 18 from the recipe) using slightly larger cupcake liners. I never bake, and these turned out perfectly. They also tasted just as good the second day as the first. And finally, I used a very simple but very delicious chocolate frosting from JoC on them (they were for a friend who LOVES chocolate). The Little Guy added sprinkles. This is so funny.

Must try to duplicate at home. Thanks for the recipe. I had a black bottom cupcake at Cupcake yesterday and it totally ruled. Must try to duplicate at home. Thanks for the recipe.
