Steamed Chocolate Cupcakes

My daughter is a chocolate lover. If she’s had a bad day this is certainly something that will brighten it for her.

The great thing about this recipe is that the cake batter really can be made in a bowl without the use of a heavy-duty mixer. Be sure to check with the skewer for doneness. This cupcake is also perfect for all sorts of get-togethers. 

This recipe yield 53 small cakes. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
