recipe from Allrecipes.com
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ready In: 60 minutes
Servings: 12

Ingredients:

2 (1oz) squares semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
3/4 cup and 2 tablespoons white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans (I didn't use my HB doesn't like nuts)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. In the top of a double boiler, combine chocolate and butter.

Heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture is melted ans smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool to lukewarm.
Sift flour and sugar together into a large bowl.

With mix on low speed, beat in eggs one at a time.

Stir in chocolate mixture, vanilla and pecans.

Fill muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. DO NOT over bake.

Tops should be shiny but give slightly when touched.

This is the Best chocolate cupcake I have ever had. It is different from your everyday cupcake. Most cupcakes are fluffy this cupcake is a little crispy on the outside but gooey on the inside. I also discovered a great butter cream recipe that I will share that is wonderful. It's light and fluffy and doesn't leave a greasy feeling in your mouth!
