Best Cupcakes Ever!!!

These cupcakes are the best! They have a wonderful chocolate taste that is enhanced by the addition of the coffee. I also added sour cream which makes baked goods much moister. It is everything that a great cupcake should be. It does deflate a bit in the middle of the cupcake; this is perfectly normal and has happened every time I have made this cupcake. I just fill it with more frosting… it is a built-in extra frosting holder. Yummy!!!

To Frost or Not To Frost?

I love frosting, but Michael does not care for frosting at all. So if you are like Michael, you could also omit the frosting and add chocolate chips and walnuts to the batter before baking, then just not frost them. I have made them both ways and they are really good either way. If you do decide to frost these we also have a frosting recipe that is really good.

These chocolate cupcakes are amazing. I was blown away at how great they turned out. They taste like they aren't even keto, but of course, they are.
