Review: Paramount Room
Oh, how we wish that were really a bacon cupcake. But we'll settle for Top Chef–themed treats, which is exactly what Bleeding Heart Bakery is going for. From the bakery: "In honor of our appreciation of Top Chef Chicago, we are going to take the last challenge winner's ingredients and come up with something cool each week." Pictured above, a white chocolate with wasabi treat. Nom nom nom.

I can has Cupcake?!
I r in yer bakery!
eatin' yer wasabi cupcakes.
I bought one of these last week and it was delish! Mine had a little frosting sushi on top though and that was super-cute, but the cupcake itself was tasty. Not spicy at all.
That's the kind of go get 'em tiger attitude I like to see, Chicago! How about some inspired by the judges too? The Colicchio (bold + bald), the Padma (skinny + exotic), and the Gail (bitter).

Wasn't this what Zoi was bitching about a few weekds ago? This particular flavor combination?
"Dark Chocolate. Bacon. What's not to love? Take yourself on a taste adventure and give these a go. They were a challenge by friends that turned into a great success. "
PREP TIME 15 Min
COOK TIME 25 Min
READY IN 40 Min
INGREDIENTS:
12 slices bacon
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 eggs
1 cup cold, strong, brewed coffee
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, 3/4 cup cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the eggs, coffee, buttermilk and oil. Stir just until blended. Mix in 3/4 of the bacon, reserving the rest for garnish. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups, dividing evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pan set over a wire rack. When cool, arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter. Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting and sprinkle reserved bacon crumbles on top. Dust with additional cocoa powder.
