Simple Cocoa Cakes
"This is a recipe that came with my Nordic Ware Nonstick Bouquet Mini Cake Pans. These are really cute pans in flower shapes. The pans are also very dark. If you were to make this in lighter coloured pans you would probably want to increase the oven temperature to 350, although I haven't tried to do so."

I made these using a Nordicware floral shape cupcake pan and received 12 cupcakes out of this recipe. The cupcakes are very moist and dark in chocolate flavor. The only thing that threw us all off was an aftertaste that was almost bitter. Maybe I was to use a white vinegar instead of apple cider? Not sure but it really was tasted by 6 of us after eating them. If I try these again I may use a soda as the activator of the baking soda instead of vinegar and see if that helps.
