Dvil’s Food Cupcaks

These moist cupcakes have a slightly richer texture than the Chocolate Cupcakes on page 25 and are a great match for a decadent chocolate glaze. Sugared flowers are surprisingly simple to make and are a prey way to dress up treats for a special day.

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper or foil liners.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and buer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Turn off the mixer and scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add about one-third of the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until blended. Pour in about half of the water and about half of the buermilk and mix on low speed just until combined. Add about half of the remaining flour mixture and mix on low speed just until blended. Pour in the remaining water and buermilk and mix just until combined. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix just until blended. Turn off the mixer, scrape down the bowl, and give the baer a final stir with the spatula.

Step 3: Divide the baer evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and set it on a wire rack. Let cool for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer the cupcakes directly to the rack. Let cool completely, about 1 hour.

Step 4: Spoon the chocolate glaze over the cupcakes and decorate the cupcakes with sugared flowers (if using).
