Club: Baked - Devil's Food Cupcakes

Happy 2012!  Hope you had a Happy New Year's!  We were very low key last night......but I did manage to sneak in some baking yesterday!  After missing the last two Club: Baked assignments, I was determined not to miss another!  This time around, Natalie, over at Just About Food, has selected Devil's Food Cake with Angel Frosting.  As I do with most of the cake recipes selected, I opted to make cupcakes.  And let me tell you......these were perfect, if not ideal, as cupcakes!!

The chocolate cupcakes are super chocolate-y, thanks to not only dark cocoa powder and dark chocolate, but the addition of strong coffee or espresso to boost the chocolate flavor.  These cupcakes are tender and moist.....they just might end up being my go-to chocolate cupcake!

Now let's talk about this frosting.  It might not be everyone's favorite, but for someone like me, that absolutely loves marshmallow....this Angel Frosting is absolutely fabulous!  It truly just tastes like marshmallow fluff, with a little vanilla bean loveliness.  And the best part?  There's no butter in this frosting!  Yep!  Just sugar.  Makes me happy!

Give these a try......you'll love them!

Check out Club: Baked for the other baker's results.....and got to Just About Food for the recipe......Enjoy!

  1. Happy New Year! Your cupcakes look adorable. I went the cupcake route too. My Hubby and I both really enjoyed the angel frosting. It's pretty cool there's no butter in it. A good way to start off the new year, right?
