"I was looking for a good recipe for chocolate cupcakes to make for Valentine's day and this looked delicious and the reviews were all positive. So I decided to make this one. Everyone loved it! It was soft, moist, and very delicious. Today is the 19th and I baked these on the 13th, and they are still very soft and moist! I didn't know if everyone would like coffee in their cupcake so I didn't use coffee, I followed everything on the list and directions, I just left out the coffee. Though it says yield for 12, my cupcake sizes were a little smaller than 'big' cupcake sizes so I made about 14+. While prepping everything, it might seem like a lot of stuff you're putting in but at the end you'll realize it is just perfect! I will definitely be using this recipe in the future!
