Double Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe

I spent two years searching for the perfect chocolate cupcake recipe. I wanted a from scratch recipe, not a cupcake that started with a cake mix. I made at least six different recipes, but none of them were perfect.

Then I found this one. It is moist and fudgy and delicious, and I haven’t looked back!. It is the same base that I used in my Peanut Butter Stuffed Chocolate Cupcakes. This time I wanted a pure chocolate cupcake, no frills. I added chocolate chips to the batter, and sprinkled some on top. I was in chocolate lovers heaven!
These cupcakes are nice and rich, so they go great with a cold glass of milk!
