Thank you so much for trusting my recipes, Noemi! I’m so glad you enjoyed everything so much! 🙂

Hi Alea! That’s disappointing to hear! What do you mean by “they never set” and “different levels of baking”. Did they not cook? Is it possible something was mis-measured?

Thank you so much for trying my recipe, Dana! I am so glad they were such a hit! 🙂

This cupcake recipe defies all the universally accepted baking rules. There’s no mixing wet ingredients separately and avoiding overmixing. The batter looks like we sand 2/3rds of the way through and I definitely thought I had missed a step, but by the time the Buttermilk went in, it all came together. This is hands down the best chocolate cupcake recipe I’ve found so far. The flavor is rich and the cupcake is moist. They do rise quite a bit, so don’t fill past the 2/3rds mark unless you want muffin tops, but this was immediately saved to my favorites.

I’m so glad it was helpful, Alex! 🙂

I’m so glad you enjoyed them so much! 🙂

I’m so glad everyone enjoyed them so much, Deanna! 🙂

These cupcakes are very delicious! The peanut butter frosting was a perfect pairing. They disappeared quickly! Thank you for the recipe!

I’m so sorry to hear this happened! There are 2 things to check here, there may have been too much flour added, or potentially they needed just a minute or two less in the oven. I hope they are better next time. 🙂

Hi Linda! Honestly I have never measured it out so it would be really tough to say. Since this makes 24 cupcakes I think it could make 2 8″ cakes. You would want to double all of the ingredients to double the peanut butter frosting, but you could probably cover a 3 layer cake by increasing the recipe by 50%. If you want 3 cake layers you’ll definitely need to increase the cupcake recipe by at least 50% as well.

How many round layer cakes would this batter make? 3, 6”? 3, 8”? And how would I double the pb frosting recipe for a 3 layer cake? Just double everything? Ty

This was the most AMAZING chocolate cake (cupcake) I have ever had!!! Moist, light, incredible dark chocolate. I haven’t frosted it yet, but even without frosting, it was wonderful. Plus, it’s the perfect balanced food, has all the major food groups (fiber, dairy, protein, and veggies), and is heart-healthy to boot! 😜 Thank you so much for the recipe. (I used vegetable oil (didn’t have Canola on hand), Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa, Trader Joe’s Pound Plus Dark Chocolate, and Don Francisco Decaf Colombian K-cup coffee.).

I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed everything so much, Sam! I will add a coffee buttercream to my list. 🙂

I’m so glad you enjoyed them so much, Mary! 🙂

We’re so happy the cupcakes were a hit for you! Love that combination 😋

Thanks so much for the sweet review, Maradee! We’re so happy you enjoyed the cupcakes ❤️
