Flourless Decadent Chocolate Cupcakes

Image
By
Hi folks, Colleen asked me to share this recipe. It's a flourless (gluten free) chocolate cupcake recipe from Chef Michael Smith. For fun he puts the batter in ice cream cones, here I recommend cupcakes - or even mini cupcakes cuz these babies pack a chocolately wallop.

8 oz dark chocolate, chopped
1-cup butter
1.5 cups brown
sugar
1-tablespoon vanilla
6 eggs
1-cup cocoa
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt the chocolate and butter together in a medium bowl set over a simmering pot of water. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar, vanilla, eggs and cocoa.  Mix well. 

Place paper cupcake cups in cupcake pan and fill with batter,
leaving a small space at the top to allow for the rising of the cake.  Bake for 15-20 minutes.

So when you say Colleen do you mean your daughter, cousins, please don't tell me you're channeling mom?

Kind of scarey isn't it! Pat and mom had this interest in food from the time he was very little. They would see something on TV decide to make it, realize they didn't have all the same ingrediants, replace with what they had which was nothing like the original receipe. Tell us saw it on TV. Then while eating the creation learn what what they used in place of the original iteam. By the end it was nothing like the recipe they had seen. They would be so pleased!

When I'm writing, in my head, all the words and grammar are perfect. The problem being is that it leaves my head. Hence the repeat words etc.

Brain works too fast, that's a common occurrence, poor body can"t keep up to the mind. Sorry Kathy hate to tell you this... you are a normal parent!

OH GOOD! But if you ask my kids they may disagree. Many times I see them shake their heads after I have done something. If you say all this is normal I'm good with it. You are the OLDER brother and therefore wise.

Thanks from the other "Gluten hating Colleen". I am sure we will be trying that recipe soon. Where do you get most of your recipies? Colleen is getting tired of pasta and salads to take to school and I am really getting tired of cooking separate meals for my family, not always but often.

Loretta is your Colleen Celiac as well? If so maybe we need to stop using the name. We are sure my mom was Celiac.

Sorry Loretto. I realized after I sent my chat off that I has spelt your name wrong. Forgive me I do not wish to offend

Its okay Cathy, oh I mean Kathy. Just kidding. Not a big deal to me. My Colleen has not been officially diagnosed but last year at high school she was talking to a teacher who is a celiac it was suggested that she may be. Well, she went off gluten for only 5 days and on the 5th day she ate pizza and was immediately sick. Every time since then if she has any by accident she is sick so I don't think we need for her to go through testing. Also, her stamina and asthma when dancing has improved by so much she would never question it.

Bochsler Family Update

By
Last week I tried to "encourage" my family to post to this blog. I sent them all TERRIBLE pictures of themselves and threatened to post them here if they didn't post their own. Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family. I won't post those nasty pictures just yet, because I'm sure there are some of me floating around and I don't want to start a war. You may remember there are 6 kids, in order of age: Mark, Colleen, Paul, David, Kathleen & Kevin. Hearing it listed like that reminds me of being called for dinner. :) Mom and Dad (Maureen and Al) are both in good health and living in that big house you remember in Ancaster. The house and property itself would look very different to many of you as my Dad's projects have really transformed the place. There are no more big willow trees (and no more treehouse!) :( ...
