The Ultimate Chocolate Cupcake?

I am excited to announce that I’ve been chosen (out of over 500 people!) to be one of the recipe testers for The Cupcake Project Blog‘s Quest for the Ultimate Chocolate Cupcake.  The idea is that she has 50 bloggers and bakers with various experience levels make a recipe and give feedback until the recipe is just perfect.  I received the recipe this weekend and immediately baked it for a housewarming party we attended.  Although I can’t share the recipe or my review just yet, there is a picture below, as well as the frosting recipe I used, which is also from The Cupcake Project.
