Make your favorite chocolate

Mmm. The more chocolate, especially unexpectedly tucked inside a cupcake, the better, I say! 😋

I agree! This was a triple chocolate cupcake. Thanks Ab!

I like the “old-fashioned” way of frosting cupcakes–without the big swirl of frosting on top. With the lovely mousse filling, only a moderate amount of frosting is needed.

I agree especially with the mousse filling, too much frosting and you lose the flavor of the mousse.

Chocolate cake with chocolate filling with chocolate icing. Wow! Chocolate is supposed to help lower your cholesterol. I’m not sure that’s what the nutritionist intended, but it would work with my diet.

They looked good Diane. Seeing the chocolate mousse title made me think I’ll look in my mom’s cookbook – she made something easy with chocolate pudding, Cool Whip (or maybe powdered Dream Whip) and she put in a cup of coffee. We always used instant coffee, so she made a cup, let it cool. It was delicious. Surely it can’t be that difficult.

It was very good. I liked angel cake, but my mom didn’t care for it – said it was too plain. So she would make up a batch of it and slather it on the angel cake. When my neighbor Marge moved next door, she liked angel cake, so we used to split one. They are always so large, so that worked perfectly.

Yes, we’d laugh sometimes about slinging a half-angel cake over the fence. Back in the day, she had a garden and I’d come home from work and see a bag hanging on the fence with tomatoes mostly. More “good ol’ days stuff.”
