These might be the single best cupcakes I have ever made….they were SO GOOD! The center is moist and dense and has a wonderful hot chocolate flavor, and then the simple whipped cream frosting makes for the perfect topping, all around DELICIOUS!
When Shannon from The Curvy Carrot Blog posted gorgeous chocolate buttermilk cupcakes I just had to make some cupcakes and I was craving some hot chocolate also (it has been below 10 degrees all week here in Wisconsin), so the idea came to me to marry the two together: hence we have Hot Chocolate Cupcakes. Try these little bad boys out- you will not be disappointed.
