I love cupcakes and especially when they’re chocolate with a Mocha Buttercream Frosting! My husband thinks it’s too much chocolate, but if you’re a chocolate lover like me, you’ll think it’s perfect. You can always adjust the amount of cocoa you want too. So if you’d like a hint or a really intense cocoa flavor just add a little less or more!
