Looking for a great CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE RECIPE? I was, too. There are so many out there that I’ve tried, but somehow, a lot of them fell short of the things I truly wanted in a chocolate cupcake.

I’m the kind of person who can eat yummy treats in just about any flavor, but only gets that deep satisfaction with chocolate.  I was looking for a cupcake with REALLY GOOD CHOCOLATE FLAVOR, using EASY TO FIND INGREDIENTS, MOIST, NOT TOO SWEET, YET KID-PLEASING. Does such a thing exist?

Many recipes later, I found something close and tweaked it until it became my favorite and my son Cole’s, too.  He’s 10 and to my delight (and sometimes to my dismay) tells me exactly what he likes and doesn’t like.  So I made him the head of my Research & Development Department.  LOL! Unlike some of my other family and friends, whom I love dearly, who for the sake of my feelings tell me that almost everything I make is good, Cole has no such mercy.  He tells it like it is – which I find very useful.

With that in mind, I asked him to try the American buttercream I created to go with it.  His initial response was “No – you know I don’t like frosting, Mom,” but when I said, “It’s ok, I’ll ask someone else to be my Research & Development Department,” he instantly changed his mind and pleaded, “I’ll try it!” I gave him a tiny bit on the tip of a spoon and watched him swallow. His face lit up with a smile as he said, “Mmmmm…can I have some more?” Then I knew it had to be good.

Baking is sometimes fraught with trial and error, but it sure is an adventure!  Hope you enjoy this one!

THE FOLLOWING IS A BRIEF OVERVIEW – FOR THE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE RECIPE SEE BOTTOM OF POST.

These decadent CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES are simple to make because there’s NO MIXER REQUIRED!

They’re even great plain, for those of you who don’t want so much sugar. But frosting them with my light American buttercream – the sweetness is on point!
