This little package is quite deceiving, it may look like just another chocolate treat, but it is quite decadent. The cake is flourless, dense and extremely chocolate. The frosting is like eating a piece of fudge; the two together can quench anyones chocolate craving.

My daughter’s 21st birthday was yesterday, the reason for this late post.  I asked what she wanted in her birthday cake: chocolate cake with chocolate icing. She had to share hers with her friend, it was that rich.  I decided on cupcakes, since they are limited on their choice of pans. I hope you enjoy this dessert; however, beware they are extremely rich!

Ingredients for cake

1 cup water (I substituted coffee, it adds another layer of flavor to the cake)
3/4 cup sugar
9 tablespoons (1 stick plus 1 tablespoon) unsalted butter, diced
18 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
6 large egg
