Last night we thought about getting a cupcake from a cupcake shop. But I felt like $3 is a lot to spend on a mediocre cupcake, when I could make 12 mediocre cupcakes at home for practically free!
Anyway, I decided to try a new recipe.

The recipe called for molasses as the sweetener...a whole cup of molasses. I guess I should have realized then that these would not taste right, but the batter smelled kind of like chocolate covered malt balls, and who doesn't like those? Also, molasses is probably better for you than regular sugar. Marshall tasted the batter, and well, his expression said it all. I reassured him that they would taste better after they are baked. Wrong. They were so gross.
Even with Mounds of whipped cream.
What a disappointment.
I had to redeem myself. So, I made another batch of chocolate cupcakes. And boy were they tasty!

Here is the link to the recipe from the NY Times.
The second batch was great because sugar rules!
