I surprised my hubby with some cupcakes for his birthday, and these were just what I was looking for — moist, with a rich chocolatey taste! Came together in a snap, too. I added some chocolate chips into the batter and only used about 3/4 cup of sugar, but otherwise stuck to the recipe. I frosted with a fluffy white frosting (similar to this Buttercream Frosting) and it was delicious!

Thank you for this excellent and efficient eggless recipe! It perfectly fit the bill for a chocolatey snack for the kids from a bare cupboard. My magician status is safe! I will conjure this again and again.

My daughter has multiple food allergies, including milk, eggs, and chocolate, but she wanted chocolate cupcakes. What a wonderful find to come across this recipe! I substituted carob for the cocoa, and it even fooled the neighbor children. Everyone loved them! Thank you!
