Super easy and quick recipe to throw together if you want a light, moist and chocolatey cupcake. I didn’t have enough butter to make buttercream so improvised and made a basic thick water icing with cocoa powder, icing sugar and water. Will definitely make again!

I have not made cupcakes in a million years so when I read your reviews on this one, I had to try it. Since there are just two of us, I took half of them over to my neighbors and they loved them, too! The icing is not as complicated as it might seem and it is light but rich (the best)! I opted not to pipe it and I was pleased with the outcome! I will be making these again real soon!

We made these for my daughters birthday last night, and they were a total hit! The cupcakes are so delicious and chocolatey, and that Swiss meringue buttercream is probably the most beautiful and delicious frosting I have ever made. We will definitely be making this again, and I shared the recipe with the friends who celebrated with us. Thank you!

Definitely the best cupcake recipe I have ever made or eaten! Made them for my son’s 1st birthday party. Didn’t get to take any leftovers home! The only change I made was subbed butter for the oil. Two thumbs up! Delicious and had to post them on my IG;)

In reply to Rachel W. Thank you so much, Rachel! I don't find this Swiss meringue buttercream too sweet, but of course, that's my subjective opinion! I'll be interested to see if you try it again and measure the sugar how your opinion might change. Regardless, so glad you enjoyed these :) thanks for letting me know.

I made these cupcakes for the first time this week and I love them. I believe I found my go to chocolate cupcake recipe. It was also my first time making Swiss meringue, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. Lol when I buy store bought cakes with Swiss meringue it’s less sweet than this, but I did eyeball my sugar a little bit so it could be too sweet due to my measuring. Im sure I’ll try it again. It piped beautifully, it’s smooth and pretty, a great recipe overall!
