CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING

FOR THE CUPCAKES:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup evaporated milk or 1/3 cup cream
3 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla

TO MAKE THE CUPCAKES:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line muffin cups (2 1/2-inches in diameter) with paper bake cups.

In medium bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Add water, oil, vinegar and vanilla; beat with a whisk just until batter is smooth and ingredients are well blended. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full with batter.

Bake 16-18 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan to wire rack. Cool completely before frosting.

TO MAKE THE CHOCOLATE FROSTING:
Combine brown sugar, milk or cream, chocolate, and 1/4 tsp salt in a saucepan. Bring to the boiling point. Cook on medium flame until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Add butter and 1 tsp vanilla. Cool slightly.

Add enough sifted confectioners sugar for proper consistency to spread. Beat until smooth. Frost cooled cupcakes.
