Best Cake Recipe: Chocolate Cupcakes
Though not as colorful as my Rainbow Cake Recipe, this Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe is a hit with grown-ups and kids–these are so moist and delicious!
I’ve been making this same cupcake recipe since I was 19 years old. Other cupcake recipes have come and gone, but none have compared to this soft chocolate cupcakes recipe.
I always pair it with a Vanilla Buttercream Frosting. Yum!
