Outstanding. The "cake" part reminds me of the best chocolate cake I've ever eaten. It was at an Italian restaurant. That cake looked similar, moist and almost so dark chocolate--almost black--but it was laced with some type of liquor. Fabulous. Do you think this recipe could be adapted to include some spirits? If so, would you trade one liquid for some or one of the calls for liquid? Thanks.. M. I love the look of the cupcake. Outstanding.

I never paid attention to regular cocoa and Dutch Processed Cacao. So I Googled it and this is what I discovered: It is important to use the type of cocoa specified in a recipe because it may affect the recipe's balance of acid. If you must substitute, use the following formula: Substituting Unsweetened Cocoa for Dutch-Process Cocoa - 3 tablespoons (18 grams) Unsweetened Cocoa Powder plus a pinch (1/8 teaspoon) baking soda. Substituting Dutch-Process Cocoa for Unsweetened Cocoa - Leave out any baking soda called for in the recipe. Not that I ever noticed any discernable difference in the finished product, but good to know. ps, the muffins are in the oven and I plan on taking them to dinner tonight at Dearest Daughter's house for Shabbat I love learning new things.
