I love Halloween, really! It's fun to scare kids and decorate the house! Usually we go all out on the outside decorations but this year we have had Santa Anna winds like nobodies business; and when they blow most of the tombstones and cobwebs end up in someone else's yard! So I stayed inside and baked cupcakes for my DH to take to work and for me to take to the gym! 
I used my favorite Devils Food recipe from the "Tartine" cookbook and it made about 36 cupcakes. Really good chocolate flavor, I used Dutch process chocolate because this recipe contains buttermilk. I also use low fat buttermilk and it has never been a problem even though the recipe calls for full fat buttermilk. I can't even find full fat buttermilk, anyone heard of that kind of buttermilk? Used the vanilla buttercream frosting from "More from Magnolia" cookbook.

Love the cupcakes. I have never heard of full fat buttermilk. Ever. Only low-fat. Didn't know there was such a thing as full fat.
Hmm, I just did a search and came up with this. Guess it can be made. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/406821
I wouldn't want the full fat version myself!
Mmmm, these are probably a little too good! I am actually a fan of good'ole fashion white cup cakes with, thick white frosting! Lots of it!
