Chocolate cupcakes with Blue icing

For some reason on Saturday I woke up at 8am and could NOT go back to sleep. So I got up and saw that it was snowing nicely (some of the only snow we've had this year in Toronto) and thought it felt like a good time to bake up something warm. I pulled out my mom's favourite chocolate cake recipe and thought cupcakes sounded like a good idea. My mom has been making this recipe for ages and knows it by heart I think.

1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Sugar
1 tsp Baking Soda

You mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Then take the 1 cup measure and beat 1 egg in the measuring cup. Then fill the cup with milk. Mix with the dry ingredients. Add in a pinch of salt and 1/4 tsp of vanilla.

Melt 1 1/2 squares of bakers chocolate (I like to do 2 squares) and 1 tbsp butter over low heat in a sauce pan. Once melted, add to the mix slowly.

Once mixed bake at 375 for 15-18 minutes. All I did for the icing was use a few drops of blue food colouring and some coarse sugar to decorate :)
