I'm not the world's biggest chocolate fan (what?! A woman that doesn't live and breathe for chocolate?! Lies!) but I know that most people like chocolate so therefore, yes, I do bake chocolate desserts when the time calls for it. A lot of times I will just take someone's word for it regarding a chocolate dish, but I couldn't help but try this because it's supposed to be the perfect chocolate cake and the way I look at it is that you've gotta taste perfection, right?! As someone that's not a huge fan of chocolate let me just tell you not to take my word for it - you've gotta try this to believe it. This cake was amazing - dare I say perfect?! It was deliciously moist and still rich, just like you want your chocolate to be.

ReplyDeleteHaha, it's not like I despise chocolate - I just don't crave it. I will eat it though. However I think that the fact that I enjoyed these cupcakes is a true testament to the recipe and next time you get a chance to try it you should!
