This is called the "Special Chocolate Cupcakes" recipe from my husband's side of the family.  It's the cake we make every year for his birthday since he was little. I've made it for 20 years now.  Wow, how time flies. So, you know it is a "special" cake.  It includes a marshmallow icing with isn't really sweet but it has its own set of directions.  The recipe makes 24 cupcakes easily and is perfect for a family birthday party gathering. I hope you enjoy it.
