Special Chocolate Cupcake | Sabrina's Organizing #chocolate #cupcake Recipe

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.

This is broken up into two recipes, one for cake and one for icing.  If you want to just make the cake and use your own icing, that works too.

What ingredients are in these Special Chocolate Cupcakes?

2 cup flour
2 cup sugar
¾ cup cocoa
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
½ cup cooking oil
1 cup milk
One teaspoon vanilla
1 cup COLD coffee

Now that you have cooled the coffee, you are ready to make the moistest chocolate cupcakes you will ever taste!
