This is the best chocolate cake recipe I've ever made. The cup cakes came out perfectly. They were moist and delicious! I will use this recipe for all my cakes and cupcakes. Thanks!

Loved the nice chocolate flavor of this recipe. Next time will make it and fill with Nutella for the extra chocolate flavor. I used a vanilla buttercream - Yummy!

Chocolate curls are made by using a vegetable peeler to thick "peel" on a bar of good chocolate. From the picture the frosting looks like a standard chocolate buttercream

Nice cupcake but no directions for yummy looking frosting nor help on making chocolate curls which made the cupcake look so lovely!

Sounds good, but what kind of icing, and how do you make the chocolate curls?
