This chocolate cupcake recipe can be made anywhere! Some chocolate cupcakes stand out from the rest, but many are delicious. These are the most popular chocolate cupcake recipes on our site.

1. Chocolate Gingerbread Cupcakes

It’s one of my favorite combinations to pair these two flavors during the holidays because they complement one another. The holidays wouldn’t be complete without making something chocolate and gingerbread! Having baked these Chocolate Gingerbread Cupcakes with homemade cream cheese frosting since late 2010, I’ve developed a reputation for making them very well. Even though gingerbread is delicious on its own, chocolate enhances it even more.

Everybody loves gingerbread during the holidays and chocolate is a timeless classic that never goes out of style. Combining gingerbread spices and melted semi-sweet chocolate creates a soft and fluffy cupcake with a rich chocolate flavor and soft, fluffy texture. The amount of cupcakes is just right to share with friends and colleagues, but sometimes you don’t want leftovers.

2. Nana’s Chocolate Cupcakes

The popularity of cupcakes really peak in the late 2000s and early 2010s, when they became the newest sweet treat to rival the traditional cake. Despite their declining popularity, cupcakes still have their place, and good ones can be damn delicious, regardless of how long they have been around. There is nothing better than damn delicious when it comes to cupcakes.

Nana’s treats bring me so much joy every time I bake them, even though she is not here with us anymore. Increase the frosting to double the amount for a more indulgent treat! Whittaker’s 33% Cocoa Creamy Milk Chocolate is the best chocolate for these cupcakes.

3. Chocolate-Coconut Angel Cupcakes

It is something I talk about frequently and even more, often think about when it comes to chocolate flavor pairings. However, sometimes it’s necessary to change things up. My taste for coconut has recently shifted from sweet to savory dishes over the past few months. A simple recipe like these Chocolate Coconut Cupcakes seemed perfect to work on. Using coconut in as many forms as possible was my goal in order to achieve a chocolate flavor as intensely as possible.

In addition to coconut oil, coconut milk, coconut extract, and coconut shredded, you can also find coconut products. There’s something different about the meringue tops, and they’re memorable for the chocolate and coconut filling. There is something interesting about it, it looks like a souffle of some sort and it seems to be very light. Not only do each of those ingredients offer a delightful coconut flavor, they also contribute to the texture of the dish!

4. Chocolate Macaroon Cupcakes

Inside each cupcake is a delicious coconut and ricotta cheese filling. Even though they have 121 calories per cupcake, you’ll be surprised at how tasty they are. From a diabetic cookbook, I got this recipe. Contestants created this recipe during a cooking competition. Neither it nor its components have been tested for use by consumers at home.

It’s my kind of snack to enjoy cupcakes that are tasty and have a good texture, and also are low in fat. When there was no more batter or filling, I ran out. Adding the filling to the cups before adding the batter caused the batter to sink and stick. My mouth will water with delight at every tasty morsel! That’s a great recipe, thanks for sharing!

5. Black Bottom Cupcakes

These traditional Black Bottom Cupcakes are old-fashioned and delicious! At my grandmother’s house, I recently sorted through a giant shoebox filled with old recipes, along with a half dozen vintage cookbooks. Using my grandmother’s recipe, I’ve been enjoying this since I was a child! There is nothing better than this for a chocolate lover! I enjoy making them for parties, and I find they are very popular at bake sales as well.

A moist, rich, yet airy classic cupcake recipe, these black bottom cupcakes have a black bottom. Party guests always rave about these chocolate chip cheesecake cupcakes with their fudgy base and creamy sauce. With bite-sized cupcakes, you’ve got the best of both worlds when you can’t decide between cake and cheesecake!

7. Cream Cheese Chocolate Cupcakes

A creamy, tangy surprise is hidden inside these Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcakes. There’s nothing ordinary about these chocolate cupcakes. You can have good cupcakes and bad cupcakes. They’re usually completely dry and topped with a dollop of whipped cream that’s underwhelming. When whipped cream is piled high on top of the cake, it’s often possible to lick off the top portion and toss the cake to the side. It’s a bit disappointing, to be honest.

There is a rich cream cheese center inside each of these cupcakes. This delicious combination of peanut butter and chocolate chips is sure to satisfy any chocolate chip lover.

You can’t resist it, because it’s so easy. Put together a platter of these to make new friends, heal a broken heart, or just eat them all yourself with a glass of milk.

In this oil-based cake, melted bittersweet chocolate is whipped with sour cream, followed by flour and cocoa, making it moist and tender.

13. Chocolate-Glazed Cupcakes

The classic cupcake is almost impossible to improve upon. My First Cookbook is a chocolate cupcake recipe we developed with a lot of discussion about frosting. Creating cupcake frosting with kids is both a fun and a challenging project. Rather than frosting their cupcakes with traditional frosting, our kid testers dipped them in chocolate glaze.

As a result, we have a chocolate glazed cupcake recipe that’s easy enough for a 5- to 8-year-old to create and a cupcake topping that’s easy and affordable. Top your cupcakes instead with a chocolate glaze that only includes two ingredients. Give your sweetheart these decadent cupcakes as a Valentine’s Day gift. You can serve them at an office party for 20 people or at a romantic dinner for two.
