Although I like cupcakes, I must confess that I’m not a huge fan of sugary frosting, I know, I think I’m the only one. So when thinking of this recipe I wanted to make a frosting that was sweet but not too sweet and I think the result was pretty much what I had in mind. The cupcakes are as light as a feather and the chocolate frosting complements it perfectly.
