We love cupcakes for almost as many reasons as we have favorite cupcake recipes. They’re adorable, they’re supremely portable and they put a smile on everyone’s face. When you need a tried-and-true dessert option, look to these recipes. We've got you covered with birthday party classics, fondant-adorned masterpieces, treats that taste just like your favorite cocktail and more. Get out your muffin pan and get inspired! A great choice, no matter the occasion? Classic chocolate cupcakes. This might be the only chocolate cupcake recipe you'll ever need. We love them for the deep, rich chocolate flavor and their moist and springy interiors. It's the perfect cake base for any frosting. A little coffee in the batter pumps up the depth of the chocolate, and the oil keeps them supremely moist.
