I need a tried and true, dense chocolate cupcake recipe. Doing a cupcake tower for a friends wedding and I really don't have a good recipe that I like. I do have a chocolate cake recipe that I do like, any thoughts on whether this would be OK to do in miniature!

Ask Mrs Cake (aka rosathemad on TradeMe).She knows everything there is to know about baking cakes, and will answer your question.
Why not make chocolate mud cake done in cupcakes, on http://brama-sole.co.nz is my tried and true mudcake recipe.

i would recommend the Jo Seagers "Easy Peasy Chocolate Cake recipe, no butter, oil instead, it is a great recipe and would work well as cupcakes, keeps moist but firm for at least a week.

I had a superb chocolate cupcake recently. When i asked for the recipe I was told it was a Destitute Gourmet recipe.You might be able to google it up, not sure.They were nice and moist and very chocolatey, without being heavy.I haven't tried to make them myself yet.

Dana's Chocolate Cupcakes
You know this recipe already, but you might not know that it makes great cupcakes We believe this recipe is now one of the most frequently made recipes in the country. When people bring their cook books to dg cooking classes for me to sign, the page with Dana’s chocolate cake is always the most splattered and tattered, I even had a lady tell me she made it for the Sultan of Brunei’s household while doing a stint as their cook! It cuts neatly and freezes well too.
Preheat oven to 180°C
1 2/3 cups flour 1½ cups sugar 2/3 cup cocoa powder 1 ½ tsp baking soda – yes baking soda! (see cooks tips) 1 tsp salt 1½ cups of trim milk 100 g melted butter 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla
Pour into the prepared patty cake cases and bake until firm and springy, this will depend on the size of the cases but probably at least 20 minutes.
Classic Chocolate Frosting 250 g icing sugar 100 g butter 1/3 cup cocoa 1 tsp vanilla milk to mix
Place butter and dry ingredients in processor, pulse to combine then add a dash of milk and pulse again, continue until you achieve a soft spreadable icing then add vanilla.

I realise that a more experienced cup cake and muffin maker would have no trouble figuring out the method, but for those not so experienced, can you please add in the method for the cake portion of your recipe.

Happy to help you, buzzy110 ;)
My recipe!I wish.
Have another look at the website and you'll see that Sophie processes (or beats) all ingredients together.
