I originally found this brownie cupcake recipe on CD Kitchen. It is a chocolate lovers delight. If you love brownie cupcakes, this is the recipe for you.Some brownie cupcake recipes loosethe brownie consistency. This recipe is just right, not to chewy, but not too much cake.

I would suggest tasting this cupcake before icing it. You may find that you want to just powder with brown sugar. I have included a chocolate fudge icing recipe for chocoholics.

You can also get creative and add some more chocolate and make your own original brownie cupcake recipe. How about adding a chocolate kiss to the middle of each brownie cupcake just before baking. Or a peanut butter cup, or junior mint. Mint chocolate cupcakes are loved by many. Create your own recipe, and make it fun and original.

If you have your own recipe, please send it to me. You can never be too creative when it comes to baking. Enjoy.
