My mother always used to say that she does not like chocolate cakes.She loves cakes but not if there where chocolate, "until you started to make them" she says now. And it is true that it is probably in chocolate cakes where the quality of ingredients is a key. As in these death by chocolate cupcakes.

A good butter and vanilla are the most, but when a good cocoa and a good chocolate difference is abysmal. Why you always say that you use the brand you want, but you always look the amount of pure cocoa. A cocoa powder you must be pure cocoa, and if we talk about a dark chocolate, we must bear in mind that you must have at least 51% of pure cocoa. This is the secret of the good Brownies, a good chocolate is what will make our dessert Grand or to pass unnoticed. Then you decide the intensity of flavor, more or less percentage of pure cocoa, but it is essential that we use true chocolate and not substitutes.

I prepared the recipe that I bring you today for my nieces to celebrate Easter, and it was a success. This cupcake is more elaborate than usual because it has three layers of coverage, but it is so spectacular that it is worth the work. To make it more bearable, I do two dozens and I freeze some, so I have them at hand when someone comes for coffee or when suddenly I have a sudden craving for calories and chocolate. I hope you like them
