4. Add the wet ingredient mixture with the dry ingredients, mix until well combined, do not overmix.
5. Fill about two-thirds of the cupcake liners, bake for 17 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Set aside to cooldown.
6. To assemble, transfer the chilled chocolate frosting to a piping bag and pipe onto cupcakes.Enjoy!
