my favorite chocolate cupcakes!


In my opinion... nothing beats simple chocolate cupcakes with creamy vanilla frosting! This recipe comes from the back of the Hershey's cocoa container. I've tried it with different brands of cocoa powder but in the end I still prefer the Hershey's. You can't go wrong with these cupcakes!
