Black Forest Cupcakes for Frosting for the Cause
Have you guys seen the blog Frosting for a Cause? From their about page
Once a day, every day for a year you will be treated to a new and talented blogger who will showcase their home-made, hand-decorated cookies or cupcakes together with their recipes. Almost everyone, everywhere, has been touched by cancer in one form or another. The guest bakers will also share in a very personal manner with readers of Frosting for the Cause, about a woman in their life who had to face this terrible disease head-on.
The bakers/bloggers who participate all agree to donate $25 to the Canadian or American Cancer Society. As an added bonus, my company does donation matching, so my donation got doubled!
You should definitely check it out. Especially if you want the recipe for these Black Forest Cupcakes. I’ve provided the guest post for them today including the recipe for this cute little guy.
One Year Ago: Chinese Restaurant Almond Cookies
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
I have a favorite…but the 24 hour weight for them is a super pain! It felt awesome when I finally found..The One! So I am sure you were just as thrilled!
Just wondering if it’s ok to double or triple this recipe or does it need to be done in small batches?
Thanks!

I have doubled this recipe and it worked out just fine.
I’ve been making this recipe for years now and it is always a huge success. I make one slight change, I add a 1/2 teaspoon of espresso powder at the sugar stage and I love how it brings out the chocolate to a different level.

Oh that’s a great change. I’ve never tried adding espresso powder to my chocolate chip cookies. I’m going to have to try that next time for sure!
