Chocolate Cupcakes With Butterscotch Icing

When a ruler uses his authority for purposes just the reverse of those for which it was delegated to him, when he evidently encroaches on the natural and constitutional rights of the subject, when he tramples on those laws which were made, at once to limit his power, and defend the people, in such cases they are not obliged to obey him. They are guilty of impiety against God; and of injustice to themselves, and the community of which they are members if they do (Jason Haven, 1769).

1		Egg yolk
3/4	c	Butterscotch chips
1/4	c	Heavy cream

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small bowl whisk together the cocoa powder and the water until
the cocoa powder is dissolved and let the mixture cool to room
temperature. In a bowl whisk together the flour, the baking soda, and
a pinch of salt. In another bowl with an electric mixer cream  together
the butter and the sugar and beat in the whole egg and the  egg yolk,
beating until the mixture is combined well. Beat in the  cocoa mixture
alternately with the flour mixture, beating well after  each addition,
divide the batter among 12 paper-lined 1/2-cup muffin  tins, and bake
the cupcakes in the middle of a preheated 350 degree  oven for 25 to 30
minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Turn  the cupcakes out onto
a rack and let them cool completely. In another  bowl combine the
butterscotch chips and the cream, scalded, let the  chips soften, and
whisk the mixture until it is smooth. Let the icing  cool completely,
whisk it until it is fluffy, and spread it on the  cupcakes. As an
alternative, substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips  for the
butterscotch chips. This recipe yields 12 cupcakes.  Recipe Source:

Sometimes people are careless and speak disparagingly of all human righteousness, as if there were no such thing that pleased God. They often cite Isaiah 64:6 which says our righteousness is as filthy rags. It is true – gloriously true – that none of God’s people, before or after the cross, would be accepted by an immaculately holy God if the perfect righteousness of Christ were not imputed to us (Romans 5:19; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 2 Corinthians 5:21). But that does not mean that God does not produce in those “justified” people (before and after the cross) an experiential righteousness that is not “filthy rags.” In fact, He does; and this righteousness is precious to God and is required, not as the ground of our justification (which is the righteousness of Christ only), but as an evidence of our being truly justified children of God.
