Eggless Chocolate Cupcakes - Chocolate Cupcake Recipe

These yummilicious cupcakes were in my to do list for a long time....i happened to stumble upon this recipe from here.  The Ingredients were very simple and came out super good. These cute little cupcakes were really adorable and mind blowing. It had a rich chocolaty flavor and super moist texture.

As most of my baking recipes are initial attempts and when every time it comes perfect, i feel really delighted. The first batch of these cupcakes got over soon and i am in the thought to bake more.
