With a craving for something chocolate based I searched all my cook books to find something that would satisfy my sweet tooth. There were plenty of options in The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook
but the ones that most stood out were the chocolate cupcakes.
I've made the plain cupcakes from this book before, but that time ate them all before getting round to making the icing. This time I was determined to complete them before sampling, and succeeded.
The cupcakes are completely delicious; lovely and moist. The chocolate rich, but not too rich. The icing sweet, but not over the top. The word divine might just sum them up!
My fourth from the 52 in 2010 challenge (no your maths isn't wrong, I still have one more to write up). Definitely the kind of challenge I enjoy, and much more fun than a new year's diet!

Thoe look scrummy. I was fortunate to “win” that book on a blog giveaway and must get around to trying out a few more recipes.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Hubby would enjoy these. I did get the book from the mobile library but had to return it! Notice it is reduced in The Book People!
