I love making chocolate cupcakes, and this recipe is one of my favorites. The cupcakes bake up beautifully, and the buttercream is smooth and chocolatey. Great for when you want a simple but tasty dessert!

This recipe makes 12 cupcakes, which is great whether you're sharing them with friends or enjoying them over a few days. The cupcakes come out soft and rich, with a moist crumb that just melts in your mouth. I’ve tried many chocolate cupcake recipes over time, but this one is my favorite so far.
