Extra Chocolate Cupcakes

A chocoholic is here. There is almost no fruit, it is too early for freezer supplies, so here comes chocolate. My inner me is beyond happy when she can make (and then eat) anything with chocolate, winter is good exactly for that, the easiest access is to chocolate. Today, I have a real delicacy for chocoholics – Extra Chocolate Cupcakes. You find fresh, melted chocolate in batter, icing and cupcakes are even splattered with chocolate ganache. My favorite soft chocolate batter which I use for all cupcakes with chocolate batter is combined with delicious choco icing made with cream cheese, mascarpone, whipped cream and, of course, chocolate. Icing doesn´t contain any butter, which is an advantage for those who don´t like butter icings, like me. Thanks to light icing, cupcakes are not too sweet, but sweet just enough. I forgot to take mascarpone and cream cheese out from a refrigerator so these two ingredients were cold, chocolate was warm so icing was a bit “ruined”, it was like on purpose, just when I wanted to take pictures. I made this icing multiple times and I can assure you that, if you don´t ruin it too, icing will have darker color than the one on a picture. It tastes great, so light and cupcakes are light and full of chocolate too.
