Used Book in Good Condition
Oh man, this is getting bookmarked, thanks! I seriously have way too many cakes bookmarked right now. Everyone has been wanting me to bake for them recently, so I've been obsessively stockpiling recipes.
And seeing as you like that combo, I have to share my favorite cupcake recipe so far for when you're feeling ambitious. I have never received better compliments from any dessert that I've made until these. My SO's cousin actually said this (with a mouthful of cupcake):
>Oh my...oh my god...oh my god...dude...welcome to the family!!
Anyway, here it is: chocolate peanut butter cupcakes.
Here is my finished cupcake and here is the split.
Unfortunately, while the cupcake (just the base - the cake) part went over well, I thought it sucked. So I consulted the best book of chocolate recipes that I know (Death by Chocolate), and I made the base with this recipe here. Perfection. I'm not sure I'll ever top this cupcake, it's just too damn good.
If you ever do make these, I found dipping to be a bit of a pain in the ass, so I ditched that idea. Instead, I held the cupcakes on an angle pointing slightly downward and then I used a spoon to spoon on the chocolate glaze while I twisted the cupcake around to cover it fully. It was definitely more time consuming, but I eventually got a pretty decent rhythm going and I preferred the results.
Robertson's Basic Country Bread from Tartine Bread.
The title cake from Marcel Desaulniers' Death by Chocolate. It has so many steps, he recommends you take 3 days to make this recipe.
