Servings: Makes 72 miniature cupcakes
 
Ingredients:
Vegetable-oil cooking spray
2 cups (4 sticks/16 oz/453g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
8 oz. unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-process)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 3/4 cups granulated sugar
8 large eggs
Confectioners' sugar (optional)

Special equipment:
Mini-muffin tins and about 72 (1-inch by 1-inch) waxed mini cupcake or mini muffin liners

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (180° C) and line mini-muffin tins with cupcake liners. Spray liners with cooking spray.

Melt butter and chocolate in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, stirring until smooth. Whisk together flour, cocoa, and salt. Remove pan from heat and whisk in granulated sugar. Add eggs, 1 at a time, whisking after each addition until incorporated, and stir in flour mixture just until blended.

Spoon batter into muffin liners, filling cups to top, and bake in middle of oven 25 to 30 minutes, or until a tester comes out with crumbs adhering. Cool 5 minutes in tins and turn out onto racks. Repeat with remaining batter.

Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired.

Note:
Cupcakes may be made 2 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.

Makes about 72 mini-cupcakes.

I made these for a fairly large group at a coffee hour. They went down very well indeed - easy to handle on small paper plates and absolutely delicious. The quantity of 72 is just right too - it took four 15 min. baking sessions but was well worth it.

I halved the recipe and got 36, I baked 24 in mini muffin cases and the rest in greased pans. Some of the ones in the plain tin stuck. Would def make again they are gorgeous!

Has anyone tried this recipe with a peanut butter cup inserted? If so, how much batter did you use and how long did you bake?

I made these before for a party of 50 and promised 150 for my nephew's engagement party. Make sure the toothpick comes out completely clean from the very bottom, especially if baking several at a time.
