"Choc" it up to Bad Measurements

I never thought I would say anything negative about something chocolate, but Friday I had my first cupcake debacle. I recently had a delicious spicy chocolate truffle from Whole Foods in which I think they used crushed red pepper to flavor and add heat. Well, it was so tasty that I thought it would translate well into a cupcake. Needless to say it did not. I found a recipe for a spicy chocolate cupcake online that called for chili powder and cayenne pepper. It was awful! It tasted so weird with the chili powder and had way too much heat from the cayenne. I think next time, if ever, I will completely cut the chili powder out of the recipe and just add a dash of cayenne to the ganache. I think the chocolate cake part should jst be left the way it is...Chocolatey delicious! Anyways, Just thought I would share this funny story about my chili cupcakes. Bam!=Yuck!
