Have you ever made chocolate cupcakes from scratch? A long time ago, I used to think that homemade cupcakes were difficult to make. But let me tell you, they’re not. In fact, they’re actually pretty easy! And there is really nothing better than sharing and enjoying cupcakes that you made completely from scratch.<\/p>\n

One thing that I love about this chocolate cupcake recipe is that the batter can all be mixed up in one bowl. These cupcakes are also incredibly light, soft, and they stay moist for days. I topped these with my homemade chocolate buttercream frosting, but I’ve included several different frosting options for you to try too.<\/p>\n

I’ve also included some notes for how to make the cupcakes ahead of time, freeze them, and how to even turn this into a 9-inch cake. If you love chocolate, I guarantee this will be your new favorite cupcake recipe!<\/p>\n
