Chocolate Cupcakes

Everyone loves Chocolate Cupcakes. This is a really easy recipe that mixes everything together in one bowl.

The cupcakes are very quick to make and very tasty!!

The good thing about these cakes are that the cake is moist and you can really taste the chocolate. At the same time any frosting can be used with them without the cake overpowering the frosting. I love using these cupcakes for butterfuly cakes. The chocolate cupcake and white cream always looks really impressive.

This is the chocolate cupcake recipe that I keep coming back to.
