Recipe Introduction
I�ve renamed this recipe �Last Minute� because of how easy it is to gather the ingredients. No butter having to come to room temperature, no chopping chocolate. I have to say that the cupcakes fell in the middle after cooling a bit, but that happens to me sometimes anyway, so I don�t yet blame it on the recipe. The cupcakes were good and so was the frosting. The best? Nope. But good, nevertheless.
