About

The cake component of these little cupcakes is borrowed from my new, incomparably moist and chocolaty German chocolate cake base and results in cupcakes that are deeply chocolate yet mellow. The glaze, the shiniest, most amazing of all chocolate glazes, elevates these cupcakes to dinner party formal.
