"I made this (a half batch and used less cinnamon because of the reviews). The cornbread topping didn't have much flavor and soaked up a lot of the chili and kind of ruined the dish. I was really looking forward to liking this after seeing Nigella prepare it on TV. Also, the chili was a little bland itself so I added smoked salt and some extra hot sauce and the chili was fairly decent itself. I ended up scooping the cornbread off the top and throwing it out and saved some of the chili for leftovers. I have to say that the quacamole on the chili was quite nice, though.

"Yes, the recipe makes 2 dozen not 1 dozen. The cupcake is very dense and doesn't really rise, leaving it the texture of a flourless cake. The taste is just okay. I made these as a healthy alternative for my son's birthday school cupcakes. I let him try one, as well as my daughter, and although they ate them (hey, it is a cupcake with frosting), they had a little trouble swallowing them down because they are so thick and heavy. I decided to make the traditional cream cheese frosting so that people would eat them and hopefully mask the texture. There were no reviews for this and had not been tested in the Food Network kitchens so I kind of learned my lesson on this one...read the reviews first!
