Mini Chocolate Cupcakes

     I have to say again, I adore chocolate! This is my second recipe in which chocolate is included, and many are to come!

     Now, I am going to show you how to make lovely mini chocolate cupcakes. The recipe is simple and easy. To prepare the batter, you may use a wire whisk, a stand mixer, or an electric mixer. The trick is not to over mix or you may end up with bread instead. I used silicon cupcakes molds, you may use paper molds too. For the frosting, I used sweetened whipped cream and chocolate. Of course, you may decorate your cupcakes in any way you prefer. These cupcakes are so delicious and you won't regret trying this recipe.
