Homemade Chocolate Cupcakes

Cupcakes, delish

These moist homemade chocolate cupcakes with creamy chocolate frosting are a chocolate lovers dream

 

These chocolate cupcakes are super chocolaty. I love that they bake perfectly. I used to use my favorite chocolate cake recipe to make cupcakes but they would always sink. Like I said, these bake perfectly and they’re super chocolaty. The buttercream is delicious but not too chocolaty which is good because everything balances out.

I decorated some with rainbow sprinkles and the other half with chocolate chips. If you call that decorating. This recipe makes about a dozen cupcakes which I think is perfect because sometimes those recipes that make over 30 cupcakes can be a bit much. No offense to my banana cupcake recipe. Those things are so delicious, I don’t care if I just want 1 cupcake and it makes 68. I’ll still make them.

Speaking of bananas and chocolate, I definitely want to experiment in the kitchen and create a chocolate banana cupcake with some type of chocolate cream cheese frosting. YUM! But for now give these a try 🙂
