Chocolate cupcakes

I have a new book of cupcake recipes, Divine Cupcakes by Tamara Jane. Yesterday was a public holiday here in Melbourne, so I thought I'd give one of these lovely recipes a whirl. Everyone at work loves chocolate so it had to be these chocolate & walnut cupcakes.

Here's the just baked, pre-decorated cakes. It was a lovely smooth, creamy batter & they baked beautifully. I didn't overfill the cases (for once) so I have a flat surface for icing.

And here are the chocolate-frosted, silver cachous strewn final results. Think of a group of happy librarians sitting down for morning tea around 10.30 this morning, Melbourne time, to enjoy a cupcake & coffee. I wish you could join us.

  1. They look delicious!

    I am sure it will be a quiet library whilst these are being devoured!
