- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
- Fill the cupcake pan with cupcake paper cups.
- Put the batter in each paper cup then bake for 18 minutes (insert toothpick in the cupcakes, if it comes out clean then the cupcakes are done).
- Remove the cupcake from the oven and allow to cool down over a wire rack.
- Melt the chocolate by placing it in a bowl over boiling water.

- Put the butter in a mixing bowl then cream (use electric mixer)
- Add the sugar and continue mixing until the texture becomes fluffy.

- Place the frosting over the cupcakes. (I use a pipe so that the frosting can easily be swirled. If you don't have any tools, you may use a spoon or spatula to spread the frosting.
- Serve with a smile. Share and enjoy!
