[Harpa]

1 1/4 cups sugar

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (like Gold Medal)

1/2 cup cocoa + 1 tbsp.

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

Whisk together dry ingredients in mixing bowl (but don't mix yet)

Add:

3/4 cup organic canola oil

3/4 cup heavy cream

vanilla & almond extract

Begin to mix; add one egg at a time:

2 large eggs

Mix until blended.

Slowly add:

3/4 cup cold coffee (don't over beat)

Fill cupcake papers 2/3 full. I pour the batter into my 2-cup measuring cup w/ a spout and then pour into the papers, catching any drips w/ a butter knife.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 23 minutes.

Cool & frost w/ your favorite frosting or whipped topping.

Yields: 19 cupcakes

This is a tweak on my mother's Easy Choclate Cake recipe, which calls for more sugar, more oil, etc., but I did not want to make so many cupcakes, and her batter is very thin.

These sound good and easy too...  I will try when I can have sugar again.
