Yes, they are everyone’s favorite. As simple it may seem, chocolate cupcakes have the tendency to become too light and hollow in the middle. Mostly because the batter for chocolate cupcakes is usually runny as compared to the vanilla cupcakes or red velvet cupcakes. You have to be very careful about of amount of flour and liquid that goes into these cupcakes. Another most important thing about turning out the best cupcakes is to fill the cupcake mould only till 3/4th of the cup.
