Dark chocolate is supposed to be better for you than the milk variety, so you can use that as an excuse!  This recipe originates from the USA as a “Hershey’s”, but you can make this dark chocolate cupcake with dark cocoa available here.

Directions

  1. Line 28 to 30 muffin cups (2and 1/2 inches in diameter) with paper bake cups.
  2. Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; beat on medium speed of mixer 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin).  Fill cups about 2/3 full with batter.
  3. Bake 22 to 25 minutes for cupcakes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.  Sprinkle with dark chocolate flakes.
