Frosting.

8.2.2008

My mom said the frosting I put on those cupcakes was good, and so I promised I'd post the recipe for that too. Here goes:

1/2 pound cream cheese, room temp
1 stick unsalted butter, room temp
4 oz bittersweet baking chocolate, melted
1 pound powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla

Start slowly and mix it all together, for about 7 minutes. This yielded more than enough frosting for my 2 dozen cupcakes, though I tend to frost lightly. (I've found that I can microwave the chocolate on low speed in a ramekin. This is much easier than fashioning a double boiler.)
