Perfectly and Imperfectly

Confesso que ando muito cansado, sabe? Mas um cansaço diferente… Um cansaço de não querer mais reclamar, de não querer pedir, de não fazer nada, de deixar as coisas acontecerem. Confesso que às vezes me dão umas crises de choro que parecem não parar, um medo e ao mesmo tempo uma certeza de tudo que quero ser, que quero fazer. Estou realmente cansado. Cansado e cansado de ser mar agitado, de ser tempestade… quero ser mar calmo. Preciso de segurança, de amor, de compreensão, de atenção.

These are really rich chocolately cupcakes:

yields 12 cupcakes

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin pan with paper or foil liners.

In a small bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.

In a large bowl whisk together sugar, oil, egg and vanilla until smooth. Alternately whisk in flour mixture and buttermilk, making three additions of flour mixture and two of buttermilk, beating until batter is smooth. Stir in chocolate chips.

Scoop batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 22 to 27 minutes or until tops of cupcakes spring back when lightly touched. Let cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely on rack. Top cooled cupcakes with frosting.
