Mayan Chocolate

The Mayans were the first culture to grind cacao beans with spices and water as a beverage.  Here is a cupcake that give homage to their innovation.  A dark chocolate spiced cupcake is filled with a rich dark chocolate ganache and topped with a chocolate spiced buttercream sprinkled with chile powder.  The chile, cinnamon and other spices provide a nice kick to the sweetness and dark chocolate flavors without overpowering the cupcake with too much heat.  A cupcake a day brings sweet bliss your way.
