Ok here it is, this recipe is so decedent, so dense, SO GOOD!! My cupcake testers have all reported back that it is the BEST cupcake yet ... that make me feel good. I still like my Lemon Basil cupcake the best but then, that is just me :) I make cookies that replicate this cucpake so I thought it would work for this month's Iron Cupcake Earth: Cranberry challenge. These cupcakes are PERFECT for the holidays coming up. If you make these and want the cookie recipe, just send me an e-mail, believe me they are just as good!

So I made these the day after I first saw them! You are NOT kidding when you said these are dense. They are more of a brownie texture, but oh so good! The buttercream icing was just divine. A light, fluffy topping to balance the denser cake. My whole fam just raved about them and loved the little surprise of cranberries tucked inside. Gave it a little fruity bite amidst all the chocolate. Also, the hint of hazelnut liquer was just the right touch to give these a truly gourmet flavor. Thank goodness I gave half of these away to the neighbors, or I would have eaten WAAAAY too many! Your recipe is yummy as always my friend!
