Instructions

Chocolate Cupcakes:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 12 cup muffin tray with liner cups.

  4. Using an ice cream scoop fill the cups 2/3 full and bake for 20-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Cool completely.

Chocolate Frosting:

  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and whisk in the cocoa powder, then remove from the heat and let cool.

  3. If the frosting is too thick, add a bit more milk.
