Not what I expect at all! I followed the recipe to the letter, except I don't have a double broiler so I melted the chocolate in a copper pot on low heat stirring constantly. The consistency was too oily and falling apart like pudding more than cake. I wanted a really dense heavy recipe and this did not turn out well at all. The taste was delicious, that was about it. I'd use less butter next time or try a different recipe.

I made these regular size and baked them for about 20-22 minutes instead. I threw in some chocolate chips which was smart because these don't have much flavor. They came out a little heavy- more like muffins so next time I won't use as much shortening. Pretty basic. Made about 20 small regular size cupcakes. Oh and I used a chocolate ganache instead for halloween and decorated with candy corn.

I really didn't like it; I think it had too much baking powder and wasn't nearly what I had hoped for. It's moist but maybe I just don't like red velvet cakes.
