This recipe is fairly similar to my chocolate cupcake recipe except that I made some modifications. The buttercream is easy but still hard. You need to follow the directions for everything or it won’t work. I’ve tried this recipe twice and once it didn’t work because it was too clumpy. You need to make sure you follow the recipe.

What I loved about the buttercream is that there was none left over! It was perfect!!

    Notes for the cupcakes: make sure you cream the butter and sugar for at least 4 minutes. Don’t use any other flour than cake flour. This mixture may be a little thick, don’t let that worry you! It’s supposed to be! My cupcakes were done at 17 minutes! ENJOY THESE CUPCAKES!
