Among the Cake Bible's chocolate butter cakes, this is my favorite. It has a light, moist texture and works well for cupcakes as well as layer cakes. The brown sugar contributes a more complex and slightly bittersweet flavor, as well as a deep, dark color. The flavors of brown sugar, butter and chocolate remind me of chocolate chip cookies.
Because of the dark color and the somewhat bittersweet flavor, I like to pair it with sweeter, light-colored buttercreams, such as white chocolate mousseline (pictured in photo).
This recipe makes 28 cupcakes, which bake in 20-25" at 350F.
