Black Velvet Cupcakes
February 26, 2024
Black cocoa calls to me from the pantry, and so a deep, dark chocolate cupcake would be today’s plan. This recipe would be my guide, though I was skeptical my cakes would be as black because of the prevalence of enhanced photos on blogs. But this batter had real potential…
Though I did not take a shot of the cupcakes out of the oven because I forgot, the frosting was definitely not super black in certain light, but changed as the cupcakes sat!
The first shot
Then later in natural light, untouched
Pretty either way!
Black Velvet in that little girl smile (LOL, remember that song?)
I’d like to do this again in a cake.
