After a three-week hiatus, Magazine Mondays returns! I’m happy to put another magazine that has been languishing in what I now affectionately call, “the basket where magazines go to die,” to rest.
When it comes to recipes, I am nothing if not melodramatic.
This time around it’s the December 2006 issue of Food & Wine magazine and the recipe for Devil’s Food Cupcakes with Espresso Meringue.
Oh, baby!
Excuse the ineloquence but hot damn … these were good!
Densely rich and chocolatey (that’s how I like my cupcakes thank you very much), the meringue was light and not too sweet thanks to the touch of espresso powder.
I wanted to eat them all but bearing in mind that in a few short days I will be making an appearance on the beaches of Miami in a bathing suit, I limited myself to one.
I don’t want to frighten the good people of Miami anymore than necessary. They’ll be scared enough as it is.
On another less frightening note, I’ve noticed that some of you have put up Magazine Mondays posts of your own. If you let me know about them, I’ll happily link to them in my own posts.
Have a great week everyone!
Ciao!

espresso in a cupcake recipe is fine with me..yummy
12/3/07 at 6:08 pm
The devil indeed! Those are some gorgeous looking cupcakes.
12/3/07 at 8:21 pm
Decadent and I love it!
12/3/07 at 8:37 pm
sounds like a great treat!
12/3/07 at 9:43 pm
Fun read. Plus, I love my wife. And my wife most definitely loves cupcakes. So if I were a good husband, I would most certainly make her a batch of these.
Thank you in advance for putting me in her good books [plus, she could use a treat..she’s a pretty busy mommy lately].

Wonderful looking cupcakes! Espresso meringue…yum!
12/4/07 at 7:56 am
Looks great! I love pairing merigue with cupcakes — it really lets the cupcake shine!!
12/4/07 at 8:51 am
Love the cupcakes with the meringue frosting! It brings the cupcake into the realm of gourmet!
12/4/07 at 8:51 am
A pretty nice way to start the week Ivonne. Stay warm!
12/4/07 at 8:53 am
I love the look of the meringue on top - they look amazing!!
12/4/07 at 9:56 am
Another winner!

I love your magazine mondays, Ivonne. I think my pile of magazines is now in the garage where it’s slightly less guilt-inducing. Beautiful cupcakes, I love how you decorated them!!
12/4/07 at 10:11 am
Adorable cupcakes. I would have never only been able to eat just one. Have fun in Miami.
12/4/07 at 10:32 am
Food and Wine is one of the BEST recipe sources out there, in my opinion. I don’t get the magazine, rather I buy the annual issue every year. I have not been disappointed with anything I’ve made from Food and Wine. These cupcakes look fantastic!
12/4/07 at 10:43 am
They looks delicious!
12/4/07 at 10:44 am
Can you drop some off the plane while flying over my house on your way to Florida? I’ll be the one with the big target sign sprayed across her lawn?!!! Seriously, those would not make it passed Mr. Tartelette, they look dangerously too good!
12/4/07 at 11:02 am
Chocolate and Espresso - who could ask for anything more?
Cupcakes look absolutely divine! I could eat a few.
12/4/07 at 11:49 am
Don’t you love when you try a recipe and it happens to be unbelievably delicious like that! How fantastic. I wouldn’t worry about Miami — I used to go there for work all the time, and there’s plenty scary there already ; )
12/4/07 at 2:34 pm
I love the idea of the Espresso Meringue on the top!
12/4/07 at 3:27 pm
Oh Ivonne - I know you’re a daring baker and so I should expect baked gorgeousness from you, but these look utterly scrumptious. I think you’re also allowed to enter into the daring bather group as well for your upcoming trip to Miami - I’m much too off-season pale and out of shape to consider something like that!
12/4/07 at 3:32 pm
I love Magazine Mondays! Now if only you could come here and go through my pile where magazines go to die….
12/4/07 at 5:48 pm
thank you for posting this! I’m sure I have this magazine laying around, probably with this recipe marked!
12/4/07 at 7:10 pm
those look divine! like a little piece of heaven
12/4/07 at 7:56 pm
Wow Ivonne, these were worth waiting for - they look and sound amazing!
12/5/07 at 7:44 am
Those look amazing! I’ve never thought about making espresso meringue.
12/5/07 at 9:51 am
Those look incredible!
12/5/07 at 11:41 am
Those look delicious! And from your previous posts, it looks like you are baking up a storm to get ready for christmas…the smells eminating from your kitchen daily must be fantastic!
12/5/07 at 1:19 pm
The cupcakes look fantastic of course, but I am very interested in the Magazine Monday concept (somehow I missed it before). Interesting I might have to try something like that myself.
12/5/07 at 5:18 pm
Hooray for the return of Magazine Mondays!! Wow, those Devil’s Food Cupcakes are magnificent-looking - don’t worry, your ineloquence is justified with these truly decadent baked goods :0)
12/5/07 at 9:20 pm
devilously devine! i love devil’s food and these are just so scrumptious looking!
