My favorite flatmate gave me a recipe for snickerdoodle cupcakes which I transformed into these chocolate cinnamon delights since I'm not a big fan of snickerdoodles. Garnish with cinnamon sugar or cocoa and enjoy!

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your cupcakes. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cupcakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Fill the cupcake liners only halfway: The cupcakes will rise as they bake, so don't fill the liners more than halfway.
Bake the cupcakes at the right temperature: The cupcakes should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 18-20 minutes.
Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.
Get creative with your frosting: There are many different ways to frost chocolate cupcakes. You can use a simple chocolate ganache, a whipped cream frosting, or a buttercream frosting. You can also add sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other decorations to your frosting.
