My Favorite Back Pocket Chocolate Cupcake (Ready in 50!) 🧁


Hi Reader!

The perfect, not-too-sweet chocolate cupcake that is THE BEST vehicle for your favorite frostings and buttercreams.

Why you’ll love these:

  • One Bowl & A Whisk: No mixer required. You can have the batter ready before the oven finishes preheating.
  • Oil-Based Magic: Because there’s no butter, these stay incredibly moist and light for days.
  • The "Puffy Crown" Rise: These don't spill over the sides like a muffin; they rise straight up into a gorgeous, bakery-style crown that is just begging for frosting.

Love these with Strawberry Marshmallow Frosting (in the pictures!), Chocolate Malted Buttercream (see photo below👇🏼) and my favorite Rich & Glossy Chocolate Frosting.

I hope your weekend is fabulous.

Happy baking!
