Fatty Friday || Hey, Let's Diet Together! (psych)

there ought to be a rule that unprofessional bakers (aka me) who have no means of attaining a proper piping bag should never ever ever ever ever ever in a whole infinity of never and evers, work with chocolate frosting, because the consistency, color, texture and look (but NOT taste) makes it look like a, well, nevermind.

for the record, they were oh-so delicious. like melt in your mouth delicious. I mean, with a delicate, soft and spongy center topped with rich dark chocolate frosting, this is pretty much equivalent to heaven in your mouth. I assure you that's the most down-to-earth goodness you'll ever get. who knew banana chocolate swirl cupcakes would taste as good as they sound?

here have another look.

anddd another... (see, I even enlarged the image for your enjoyment).

despite that it looks like what it does, deep or not so deep down, I know you want some. don't even try to deny it.

I found this recipe via foodgawkers.com and these were so easy to make I'm not sure I should even walk you through. here's what I'll do... I'll link the recipe HERE and you can go make it yourself. this is something you should make if you happen to have overripe/bruised bananas lying around the house that nobody wants to even touch and leftover cocoa powder from making scratch brownies. yup, that's pretty much all you need! okay, just kidding, you do need other stuff like baking powder, baking soda, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, sugar, maybe a pinch of salt and a dollop of sour cream, but if you bake on a regular basis then you'd definitely have all these on hand. well maybe not the sour cream... don't skip it though! it's what makes the whole cupcake so delicate and spongy.

also, if you make a dozen and eat it all in one sitting, please don't come blaming me for the calorie count. I am not responsible for anybody's weight gain.

eat responsibly. peace.
