Moist Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe




Recently a friend of mine was visiting and I was shocked when she told me that she doesn't care for  chocolate. What!!! I thought those people do not exist. Who doesn't like chocolate!!!! Although she doesn't like chocolate she tried those cupcakes and she loved them. I think because these cupcakes do not have  chocolate in the recipe, instead it calls for cocoa powder which gives them a smooth mild chocolate flavor . So if you are looking for devil's chocolate cupcakes this is not the recipe  you are looking for.
I like those cupcakes simple with just stawberry on top but you can have them with  frosting or whipped cream.
