Flourless Chocolate Cupcakes
These decadent little chocolatey morsels improve after a day but are still amazing on the day of baking. (Just try NOT eating any...impossible!)
I was more than surprised when someone on the Insider Club Whats App chat asked if there was a chocolate cupcake recipe on the site....amazingly there was not. And here we are less than a couple of days later, remedying that glaring omission! What an error. Me being the chocolate fiend that I am and all.
We decided to go with flourless, because more chocolate. It is World Chocolate Day the week of launching this recipe and seriously, that frosting! The ratios are going to kill me one gallstone at a time, but it will be worth it. Go lightly friends...take small bites and make the single cupcake last the day!
Happy World Chocolate Day!

These cupcakes improve over time, if that is do-able. They are also very hard to resist when completely fresh of course.
