I followed the recipe exactly and my cupcakes turned out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the frosting.

I've made these cupcakes several times and they are always a crowd-pleaser. The only thing I would change is to add a little more peanut butter to the frosting.

I love these cupcakes! They are so easy to make and they always turn out perfect. The frosting is my favorite part.

These cupcakes were absolutely delicious! I made them for my kids' birthday party and they were a huge hit. The peanut butter frosting was the perfect complement to the chocolate cupcakes. I will definitely be making these again!
