Cupcakes are Awesome, rich, dark chocolate flavor, so moist a fork works best! They did turn out flat for me as well yet the frosting I used from another recipe was best applied on a flat surface anyway so all worked out. Made these for a baby shower, topped with chocolate hearts and raspberries, a big hit! Love all your recipes I have made so far Sarah, thank you for sharing your craft!

I just made these tonight. I tried to follow recipe to a “T”. They are delicious with a capital “D”, but FLAT. The one thing I did that MAY have affected the outcome was baking them in a 24 cupcake pan/batch. I did bake the remaining six cupcakes separately in a smaller pan but they were flat too. Any tips,suggestions, ideas about what to focus on to bake them into a dome like yours?

I love adding coffee to chocolate cake – just a little bit brings out the flavour without making them overly tasting of coffee. And buttermilk makes them beautifully moist so can imagine these are the perfect birthday staple. Yum.

They’re adorable! 300 is definitely too low, especially with a lot of those weighty ingredients, but with all that chocolate flavor (you can just tell from the ingredient list that these are going to be good), I’m glad you kept at them and shared them with us.

These make me regret that I am not in birthday season here! Not that that’s ever stopped me from making cupcakes… Are those candles Herriot Grace? Either way, I love them and the photos… always so calm, and dreamy.
