This recipe was excellent. A word of caution..do not over bake them. They won't look completely cooked but they are. And next time I am going to place less batter in the bottom, then add the filling as when you do it on the top, there is too much going on on the top.

Have made these cupcakes twice now and everyone just loves them! They are a little time consuming, but they are worth it. They are very rich, so I may make them again and use the mini cupcake pan to make them smaller. One person told me that they were the best cupcakes that they had every had...and i agree!
