Chocolate Graham Cupcake

It was game day yesterday: Chicago Bears vs. Dallas Cowboys. While my whole attention is focused on the game, my wife is baking some delicious Chocolate Graham Cupcake.

I wanted to record the baking procedure, but the game was getting intense and I can’t get myself out of the couch even for a single minute – by the way, the Bears won. Hurray!

Two wins in a row; seems like a good way to start the NFL season. Because of that, we are dedicating this Chocolate Graham Cupcake to “Da Bears”.

I haven’t tried making this cupcake before, so I asked her how she did it. She answered with a smirk. That was just her way of saying that I should have helped. But hey – she is a better baker than I am and making Chocolate Graham Cupcake is just a piece of cake to her – or should I say pieces of cupcakes. Anyway, she still gave me the recipe.

By the way, If you are into red velvet cupcakes then you should try this recipe.

Here’s how she did it:
