This recipe is identical to the Black Bottom Cupcake recipe from the Joy of Cooking, except for cooking time. "Joy" has cook time of 20-25 minutes, which is just about right. I'd think the cakes would be overcooked after 30 minutes. Anyway, these cupcakes are pretty and delicious! I'd suggest using high quality Dutch process cocoa for a richer, more chocolately cupcake.
