Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 8 ounces cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 2 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 2 ounces water
- 4 ounces unsalted butter
- 8 ounces plus 3 ounces sugar
- 4 ounces egg yolks
- 4 ounces egg whites
- 8 ounces milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Prepare a cupcake pan with paper liners and lightly spray with nonstick spray. Sift the cake four, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.
Melt chocolates and water over low heat in a double boiler.
In a mixer with a paddle attachment, slowly cream butter and 8 ounces of sugar. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, and beat until fluffy.
In a separate bowl, with a mixer and wire whip attachment, whip egg whites and 3 ounces of sugar until stiff peaks form.
Combine milk and vanilla in a measuring glass. Fold melted chocolate mixture into butter mixture. Alternately fold the flour mixture and milk mixture into the butter mixture. Gently fold in the whipped egg whites. Fill cupcake cups 2/3 full and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 15 minutes.

This recipe would have been good if the ingredient list was written "normally" instead of all in ounces. I mean who lists ingredients as 4 ounces of eggs? i read it wrong and used 4 egg yolks and 4 egg whites. When the cupcakes came out too flimsy and too lite, I realized my error - that I should have only used 2 whites and 2 yolks. May have been good cupcakes if I would have read properly - but didn't like the way list was written.

I think these would have been good, if i added more flour due to the fact i live in Wyoming! They puffed up really really big then sunk in! it was a disaster! I do beleive it was from the high altitude, so beware of that! Otherwise i thought the dough was quite tasty!:
