Yield Makes 18 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 6

24 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
5 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly butter eighteen 1/3-cup muffin cups. Stir 16 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate in top of double boiler set over simmering water until melted and smooth. Cool slightly. Using electric mixer, beat eggs, egg yolks and sugar in large bowl until pale yellow and tripled in volume, about 5 minutes. Add melted chocolate and beat until blended. Divide cupcake batter equally among prepared muffin cups, filling cups about 3/4 full.
  • Bake cupcakes until puffed and cracked on top, about 12 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Run knife around sides of muffin cups to loosen cupcakes, then carefully lift out with small metal spatula. Place chocolate cupcakes upside down on work surface.
  • Bring whipping cream to simmer in small saucepan. Remove from heat. Add remaining 8 ounces chopped chocolate and unsalted butter; whisk until melted and smooth. Cool until slightly thickened and spreadable. Spread glaze over cakes. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.) Serve cupcakes glaze side up.

These cupcakes were a disaster! The chocolate flavor was bland and the frosting was too runny. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found these cupcakes to be a bit dry. The chocolate flavor was good, but the frosting was a little too sweet.

These cupcakes were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. The chocolate flavor was nice and the frosting was creamy.

These cupcakes are the perfect size for a party or potluck. They're not too big, so you can have two or three without feeling guilty.
