I like to bake, but the true baker in our house is my husband. Most of the baked items I post will be his creations (just wait ’til Christmas cookie season…his cookies are not only tasty, but absolutely gorgeous)! He’s quite the purist when it comes to ingredients and when we bake and things are typically always from scratch, but several years ago I picked up a copy of The Cake Mix Doctor by Anne Byrn and found a chocolate cake recipe that we both love.
Many chocolate cakes that we’ve had over the years are either too dry or not nearly chocolatey enough. This cake is light and fluffy with a fantastic chocolate flavor and is wonderful with or without frosting. They also freeze quite well (unfrosted) — the texture becomes a bit more dense after they’ve been frozen, but they are great to keep on hand in the freezer for those days that you need a bit of a chocolate fix (without eating a whole cake).
Hope you give these a try — they’re a great treat!

Shouldn’t read these at night…now I want chocolate cake. The cupcakes look delicious!
Yep, should write up posts about chocolate that late at night either…I was dreaming about cake all night! hee-hee
Looking at this at 9pm at night, when I’m craving chocolate and pregnant is just plain torture!!! YUM!!!
Hee-hee, Chrissa…when I was posting it I was getting a ridiculous craving, too. Hope you give these a try soon! 🙂
I love cupcakes! Thank you so much for sharing!
Hope you have a chance to try them, JodyAnna! 🙂
