Chocolate Cupcakes with Browned Butter Frosting

 

Chocolate Cupcake recipe: http://www.bakeaholic.ca/cupcakes/dark-chocolate-cupcakes/ (I reduced sugar to 3/4 cup because I knew the frosting would be very sweet)

Browned Butter Frosting recipe: (from colleague: 1/2 cup butter, 4 cups powdered sugar, 2 TB milk, 1 tsp vanilla.  Brown the butter in a small saucepan, remove from heat and pour into mixing bowl, add the remaining ingredients and whip it up with a mixer until you reach desired consistency, adding more milk as needed.  I added a total of 3.5TB milk)

I used two 8″ round pans.  After cakes cooled, sliced each in half to make four layers.  I doubled the filling.

Didn’t turn out anything like the picture from the recipe site, but tastes very good!  I don’t recommend making this “free form” on the cardboard like the recipe states.  It would probably be much easier and less messy to assemble in a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap.

I cut the sugar in the cake batter from 1 cup to 3/4 cup because I like not-too-sweet desserts.  I will say though, that if you use the full cup, it still won’t be too sweet.  It’s a great recipe as-is!  I also omitted the salt from the icing because I used salted peanuts (which I recommend)!
