then turn off heat


Pour over flour mixture


and stir lightly to cool


In a measuring cup
pour the buttermilk

Stir buttermilk mixture into butter/chocolate mixture


put cupcake wrappers
in the muffin tins
this made 1 1/2 dozen cupcakes
be sure to let
the birthday girl
lick the spoon after


bake at 350
for 20 minutes
or until a toothpick
inserted comes out clean
then you can make a craft
while they cool


after these cooled
we topped them with
