Chocolate Cupcakes with Red Velvet Frosting

Moist, rich flavor makes these chocolate cupcakes irresistible! The red velvet frosting makes them festive!

I have a confession. I love cupcakes. {chocolate cupcakes are my favorite} Don’t get me wrong, I love cakes, too, but they’re usually too big, too messy to transport leftovers and tend to go to waste. Cupcakes, on the other hand, are just the right size for eating {not too big, and not too small} and leftovers can be easily divided among guests.

I love cupcakes so much, in fact, that I’ve joined over 20 other bloggers in celebrating Cupcake Day.
