DEVIL'S FOOD CUPCAKES
We mixed sour cream into the batter to add moistness and a subtle tang. Silky smooth ganache makes a rich topping; other options include seven-minute frosting and cream-cheese frosting. The chocolate curls are easily made with a few strokes of a vegetable peeler.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk together cocoa and hot water until smooth. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Melt butter with sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring to combine. Remove from heat, and pour into a mixing bowl. With an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat until mixture is cooled, 4 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add vanilla, then cocoa mixture, and beat until combined. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the sour cream, and beating until just combined after each.
- Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three- quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool 15 minutes; turn out cupcakes onto racks and let cool completely. Cupcakes can be stored overnight at room temperature, or frozen up to 2 months, in airtight containers.
- To finish, use a small offset spatula to spread cupcakes with frosting.

- Cream the butter and brown sugar together in the bowl of an electric mixer. With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the melted chocolate.
- Combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Alternating between the two, add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the chocolate mixture in three stages, ending with the flour. Then slowly stir in 1 cup of boiling water and the vanilla.
- Pour the batter 3/4 full into the baking cups. Place in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 15 minutes.

- Place all the ingredients into a small, heavy saucepan over moderate heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is almost melted.
- Remove from heat. Continue to stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until icing reaches room temperature.
- Hold cupcakes upside down and dip the tops into the icing. Twirl slightly and then hold upside down for a few seconds for excess to drip off. After dipping them all, dip each one a second time.

HEALTHY BUT DELICIOUS DEVIL'S FOOD CUPCAKES
Only two ingredients in this recipe, devil's food cake mix and canned pumpkin. Sounds like it wouldn't be very good but it is! These cupcakes turn out moist and are surprisingly chocolatey tasting, you barely detect the pumpkin taste at all. And because there's no oil or eggs they are a healthy alternative to your typical cupcake. Make sure to use pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling! You could also add chocolate chips, nuts, etc. to pep these up a little.

DEVIL'S FOOD CUPCAKES
Based on a recipe from Cook's Country magazine, February/March 2006. Makes 24 cupcakes, although it can be easily halved. The editors say, "If you don't have bar or block chocolate on hand, use semisweet chips in the cake and frosting." I frost these using recipe #414787 or recipe #414801. Did you know that unfrosted cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days? They may also be individually wrapped in plastic and frozen in a zipper-lock bag for up to 1 month.
