Flourless Decadent Chocolate Cupcakes

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?

No of course not. When I channel mom I say mom. Duhh. This Colleen is our leftish coast cousin.

This is definately a sign of age Pat ,cupcake recipies! We have officially become our parents!

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!
Kathleen said…
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.

Kathy you may not continue to think that when you see Movember pictures. Someone told me that the Village People tryouts were in the other romm from where we were.

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