Chili Chocolate Cupcakes image

I found this recipe on a blog called Cupcake Bakeshop, which is now closed. I haven't tried it yet, but wanted to save it for safe-keeping. It calls for a specialty item, ground pequin chilies, but I will be using chipotle chili powder, as I already have that. Top with Chili Chocolate Ganache Frosting, which I will post seperately.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cupcakes turned out really dry. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

The cupcakes were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate and chili together, but these cupcakes were surprisingly good. The chili flavor is very subtle and it really complements the chocolate.
