A few months ago I made this utterly sinful,seductive sheetcake from thepioneerwomancooks.com If you don't know already, the woman who owns the website is a food genius! LoL Her name is Ree Drummond and I've gotten some GREAT recipes from her site!
I changed her Chocolate Sheetcake into some ridiculously delicious cupcakes.
The Recipe follows!
2 cups Flour
2 cups Sugar
¼ teaspoons Salt
4 Tablespoons (heaping) Cocoa
2 sticks Butter
1 cup Boiling Water
½ cups Buttermilk
2 whole Beaten Eggs
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Vanilla
Preparation Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
In a saucepan, melt butter. Add cocoa. Stir together.
Add boiling water, allow mixture to boil for 30 seconds, then turn off heat. Pour over flour mixture, and stir lightly to cool.
In a measuring cup, pour the buttermilk and add beaten eggs, baking soda, and vanilla. Stir buttermilk mixture into butter/chocolate mixture. Pour into greased/floured (or cheat like I do and use Bakers Spray!) cupcake pan or fill cupcake liner 3/4 full and bake at 350-degrees for 20 minutes.
Makes 12 cupcakes
I also sampled this icing! What is amazing and odd at the same time is this icing turned out without POWDERED SUGAR! I hate powdered sugar icing because when I eat it feels like my teeth are going to rot. Gross visual, I know but its true. I know this Icing might seem suspect because it has.. *cough* FLOUR in it. It's nice and light and definitely leans more towards the whipped icing side but its delicious.... Follow the link to mouthwatering icing

OR Cheat and use store bought chocolate icing which I did on a few of the cupcakes and it was just as delicious either way!
