Cupcakes

Despite the cupcake craze sweeping the country, I've never really eaten a lot of cupcakes.  No particular reason although I do find the ones that are commercially available at cupcake bakeries tend to be bigger than what I would eat if I cut myself a piece of cake.  On the weekend we celebrated a birthday in our house and I wanted chocolate cake.  Since I'm trying to behave myself, I didn't really want to eat cake for a week so I made cupcakes.

The cupcake recipe was from Flour and the icing was my standard butter icing ... butter, icing sugar, cocoa, milk and kahlua in this case for flavouring.  Simple and pretty much my favourite.  These were really tasty, perfect for a birthday treat and I stuck the leftovers in the freezer for lunches.
