BROOKLYN BLACKOUT CUPCAKES
• • • • •
A Brooklyn, New York, bakery called Ebinger’s was famous for its intense
chocolate cake, called Brooklyn Blackout, packaged in a signature blue box. The
bakery closed in the early 1970s, but the buzz about these cakes lives on. I have
received recipes for all kinds of variations on this chocolate cake cloaked in cake
crumbs, and have adapted the version I like best as cupcakes.
