- Yields:
-
12 cupcakes
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1⁄2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs (see note)
- 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate (melt in microwave for about 10 seconds to just barely melt-then let cool)

directions
-
Note:
- Set the eggs in a pan of hot tap water while preparing ingredients- this will bring them up to room temperature.
- If you don't have buttermilk, use milk with a teaspoon of vinegar to required amount.
- Heat your oven to 325 degrees and line a muffin pan with 12 liners.
- Cream the butter in a mixing bowl with the sugars until well mixed.
- Add the eggs and chocolate together in a separate bowl. Mix this into the butter mix well with a whisk.
- Mix the baking soda & salt into the flour and mix into the batter a small amount at a time until each addition is just moistened. You don't want to overmix or it won't be as tender as it could be.
- Gently mix in the buttermilk and vanilla.
- Fill each cupcake line no more than two thirds full (this is easier if you use an ice cream scoop).
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or a until toothpick inserted in a muffin comes out clean.

<p>We own a small ranch located in Napa, California. We used to be considered odd because we grew most of our food and lived frugally. Now we are viewed as trendy- go figure!</p>
<p>Anyway, we raise chickens for meat and eggs, have tons of fruits and vegetables and do it all without using pesticides or chemicals.</p>
<p>We also cook almost everything we eat from scratch. It takes a lot longer, but ours is the house that everyone wants an invitation to dinner at.</p>
