    This easy Chocolate Cupcake recipe is based on my all time favourite Chocolate Cake recipe, and I promise you cannot go wrong making it!

    How to Make this Easy Chocolate Cake Recipe

    We’ve been making my Nan’s Chocolate Cake recipe for as long as I can remember, it’s practically a staple in our house!  While there is nothing better than slicing off a thick piece of her Chocolate Cake to enjoy, these easy Chocolate Cupcakes make a great alternative, especially for the kids.

    Easy Chocolate Cake Recipe

    This recipe is simply my original Chocolate Cake recipe baked as cupcakes. You will get 12 cupcakes from this mixture and you can also turn these into mini muffins and will get around 24 cupcakes that way.  You can enjoy these Chocolate Cupcakes fresh from the oven while they are still warm, however it’s also well worth waiting until they have cooled and then topping them with Chocolate icing – you can find the recipe here.

    Tips for How to Make these Easy Chocolate Cupcakes:

    • You can also cook this recipe in a cake tin – the cooking time will increase to approximately 30 minutes or longer depending on the cake tin that you use.
    • This recipe is freezer friendly – either iced or un-iced.
    • You can find my chocolate icing recipe here.
