Recipe Description
So why should you make these cupcakes? Just because they can be made gluten-free? Well that is definitely appealing for some people, but gluten or not these cupcakes are just to-die-for amazing. Like totally. They pack a good punch of chocolate flavour, but are still amazingly light and fluffy and they don’t dry out, you can even make them a few days in advance. Cool right? They are the perfect vessel for any sort of frosting, but in particular… Champagne frosting. Need I say more?
