I decided the other day to surprise my husband with homemade mini chocolate cupcakes. I used a old recipe for vanilla cupcake and added some cocoa powder in place of some of the flour. Then I decided to also add chopped extra dark chocolate in the batter. All was going to plan, and I cooked the cupcakes with plenty of time to clean up and ice the cakes. As I have always done before, I took the opportunity to sample my work. They were absolutely nasty!!!!!! The most bitter cupcake I have ever had!!! I couldn't figure out why it was so messed up until I realized I never put in the sugar. That's right folks, I forgot the most important part of any dessert. S U G A R!!!!!! It made me realize just how important the 'sweet' is in 'bittersweet chocolate'!
