Double Chocolate Cupcakes

Directions

1. 1
   Combine dry ingredients. Make a well in the middle.
2. 2
   In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients, including the 1/3 cup water.
3. 3
   Put wet mixture in the well of dry ingredients. Stir just until moistened.
4. 4
   Fold in chips. Use a light hand; a heavy hand leads to heavy cupcakes.
5. 5
   Use cupcake liners for muffin pans. Fill about 2/3 full with batter. Any empty muffin holders should be filled half full with water. Do not just put under the sink to do this. Put water in a something with a lip, like a liquid measuring cup, and use that. (Yes, I learned this the hard way.).
6. 6
   Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes. Leaving on the liners, remove from pans immediately. Cool on racks.
7. 7
   Number of muffins really depends on how full you fill your tins.
8. 8
   Sprinkle tops with confection's sugar, if desired.
