Thank you SO much for posting cupcake recipes for two. They are my new obsession and small batches will save my health!

Also I noticed that the review mentioned a strong baking soda taste – I wonder whether they used baking soda instead of the baking powder called for in your recipe?

Not sure what I did wrong, but mine collapsed. I did use chips rather than baking choc. They were good though! Just not as attractive as yours.

I should mention that these cupcakes are more like bakery cupcakes because they have a flat top. This is the perfect vehicle for mounds of buttercream, in my opinion.
Also, I used baking chocolate, not chocolate chips. It looks like someone had a problem with these tasting strange…might be because chocolate chips aren’t as strong as baking chocolate, which has a guaranteed cocoa content.
Did anyone else have a problem with this recipe? I made it a minimum of 10 times before I posted it here. I’ve been working on this recipe for a year now.

I had some trouble with this recipe. The cupcakes didn’t rise in the center, though they were very done around the edges. They also tasted pretty heavily of baking soda. The icing is yummy so it helped with the baking soda taste.

Oh, thank you for a dessert recipe for two! We are empty-nesters and I don’t dare bake a whole pan of cupcakes or I will EAT EVERY ONE! Also, we’ve been picking wild blackberries on our property the past few weeks, so I’d say I have no excuse not to make these! I’ll be back to give the recipe a review when I get them made!

this is the kind of thing i wish someone would make ME for my birthday! bakers always get forgotten on such days, which is why we console ourselves with butter.

THANKS FOR SOMETHING YUMMY, SHARING OPTIONAL!
