This is my husbands favorite cupcake and he gets so excited every time I make it! There is nothing I can say to do this cupcake justice so you will just have to try it! Here's the recipe!

Chocolate Cupcake Recipe
Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups of flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water

Cream butter and sugar till fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add dry mixture to creamed mixture alternating with 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk. Fill cupcake liners to 1/2 full. Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Place in fridge until completely cooled, then frost.

Chocolate Frosting

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup butter, room temperature
• powdered sugar
• cocoa
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tbsp milk

Cream butter until fluffy. Add 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1/4 cup of cocoa and mix. Mix in vanilla and milk. Gradually add more powdered sugar until it is thick enough that the "peaks" don't relax when you stop beating. Add more cocoa until you like the taste. Then frost the cupcakes!

Here's the finished cupcake!
