Who does not love chocolate?
Remember back in October last year when I shared my Moist Chocolate Chip Bun recipe? I also shared my favourite quote,
For instant happiness, just add CHOCOLATE!
Today, we are going to add a lot of CHOCOLATE because I am going to share a super simple and delicious Moist Chocolate Cupcake recipe.
Most importantly, no electric mixer is needed for this recipe. These chocolate cupcakes are made entirely from scratch, they are literally the best!
They are super moist, fluffy, and loaded with a chock-full of flavour, as you can see above. The cake melts in your mouth and you will not be able to stop eating it!

This recipe is extremely easy and far superior to any store-bought cake mix available. So, shall we get started?
