I have made these twice now, as cupcakes and mini-bundts. In both cases I did the cappuccino version listed in the book, and my husband gobbled them up greedily. It is really a fantastic recipe, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only fan! Lovely photos.

sarah - here's my mom-in-law's recipe (thanks for stopping by!)

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup softened margarine
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 cup semi sweet chocolate morsels
1/2 cup nuts (optional)

Prehead oven to 350F. Grease a 9x1 pan.

Mix flour, baking powder and cinnamon together, set aside. Blend margarine, shortening, and sugar together. Add eggs and flour mixture to the butter mixture until blended together well.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle chocolate morsels over the top and bake for 25 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes and cut into bars. Store in an airtight container.
