hector’s take on ROSE’S heavenly CAKES: Chocolate Layer Cake with Caramel Ganache (page 104) is done as cupcakes.
i adore the enjoyement of serving chocolate and butter cakes at room temperature. the texture and flavor or chocolate and butter are best enjoyed close to its melting point, so room temperature it is!
however, i’ve been observing that in Hawaii, most seem to prefer it cold! here it the cupcake, enjoyed straight from the refrigerator. i must say, i loved it. 
perhaps when you are hot all day, having a cold treat is better?
