Creamy Chocolate Cupcake

This one belongs in a bakery display case. It begins with a sparkling opening of kitchen-fresh bittersweet chocolate and swirled buttercream frosting. At the center, spoonable corn syrup and softly nuanced amaretto take over, bringing everything into balance. The drydown settles into fine vanilla sugar, unmistakable malt, deep, bittersweet cocoa, and spoonable espresso powder, anchoring everything above it. Sugared and impossible to resist, it turns any room into the warmest corner of a bakery.
