This is a soft chocolate
cupcake that is not very sweet
and hence perfect for
doing any type of icing.... whether it’s
filled inside or piped icing! Just select any icing that
you fancy.... you can find some icing ideas from my previous posts here.

DeleteThis is a great recipe, but for some reason this page will not allow my mouse to highlight the recipe and copy/paste it to my document, so I can't use the recipe. That's really weird that I can't copy/paste this particular page only.
ReplyDeleteJust finished making these. The batter was terribly delicious and spent most of my time devouring that. They rose wonderfully in the oven and smell so good. And soft! This is definitely my new "basic" chocolate cupcake recipe.
