Comments on: Dark chocolate cupcakes http://foodpluspolitics.com/2007/06/11/dark-chocolate-cupcakes/ Recipes from scratch and a lot of chatter about food ( plus a little about politics ) Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:15:43 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: ellaella http://foodpluspolitics.com/2007/06/11/dark-chocolate-cupcakes/#comment-5485 ellaella Wed, 20 May 2009 03:15:05 +0000 http://foodpluspolitics.dreamhosters.com/?p=184#comment-5485 I'm sorry to hear you had trouble with them. They're not too crumbly when I make them, nor is there too much batter, and my friends who've made them had equally good results. I suppose the American habit of measuring by volume (I measure by weight) can be as much to blame as anything else. I’m sorry to hear you had trouble with them.

They look great, taste great, but they're a little on the crumbly side for a cupcake. The ideal cupcake should hold together a little bit better since, after all, they are "finger food". Also, a little too much batter for a standard 12-muffin tin. The cups runneth over and the tops were more flat than mounded. The next time, I will expand to a second tin for an additional 2 or 3 cupcakes. Tried these today. They look great, taste great, but they’re a little on the crumbly side for a cupcake.

I can go to their store but most people, of course, cannot. I've used their regular Dutch (I prefer Droste but it's so blasted expensive) but not the black. They're delightful people but they're geniuses at selling things that require a 2nd purchase, as this does, or that have only one use, ie: pie thickener. So much for New England thrift!
