Good and moist!

Note to others: do not wait until 25 minutes before you check your cupcakes. Since everybody has different ovens, pans, altitudes,etc. Baking times MIGHT not be the same as Leeza's. If you over-bake, anything will turn out dry. Mine turn out moist and fully baked at 18 minutes. Thank you so much for sharing Leeza!!!!

I just made these and they came out perfect! Can't wait for them to cool down to taste! Will prob also use these to make mini cheese cake cup cakes :)

OMG!! These are amazing!! Whoever thought of putting pudding in the recipe is a genius!! I'm twelve and on Wednesdays im really bored so I decided to make chocolate cupcakes and found this. It is super easy and delicious!! I really recommend this to everybody. I put them to bake for a bit less than called for and they turned out super moist and yum! Oh and my sister normally hates my cooking but she loved these (which is a really big accomplishment for me.:) I just put the cupcakes in the oven for my second time making these and they are lookin' good! wow this is getting really long. OK, Ill let you go and make the cupcakes now! Hmm, does Leeza have a frosting recipe? Ill go check...

These cupcakes are the best ever!! I did add one egg though just because I am so traditional and coffee instead of water sometimes 1/2 and 1/2. This is the best chocolate cupcake recipe I have come across and certainly NOT dry. Thanks to whoever posted!!

Great recipe, quick easy and delicious!

I used 2/3 cup of agva instead of sugar and turned out great! Thanks for this recipe! Had a bake sale and panicked because I didn't have a recipe! They sold out! Thanks a lot

I made these cupcakes for a friend and they were wonderful!!!! A huge hit with the classmates :)

We grew up with this recipe but it was called Wacky Cake, only difference is we added 1 tsp. vanilla extract.

Is this for mini cupcakes?

Hi Kelly,

You can use the recipe for mini cupcakes but they will bake more quickly. In an oven, try 375°F. Depending upon the size of the mini cupcakes, start checking at around 10 minutes (or less for smaller ones!). Or use a mini baker appliance and follow manufacturer's directions.

I am 12 years old and I love these cupcakes! My friend and I were baking Cookie Monster and Elmo cupcakes, and they were FANTASTIC!!! I have also used this recipe other times and it has not disappointed!! I recommend this for everyone to use because the cupcakes are so moist and so good!!

Amazing recipe my husband and kids loved them!!! Thank you. So easy to make too!!!

I made these for a Super Bowl party, and I made them with 2 capfulls of Peppermint extract and they turned out SO GOOD. I made 12, and they had to stay in the oven for a while, but they were so moist and delicious.

Not the most amazing cupcakes you will ever eat, but pretty darn good. I just loved that the recipe was so easy. I substituted the water for milk, and next time I plan on using sweetened cocoa powder, I'm not a huge fan of the bitter taste of unsweetened. Don't know how anyone's cupcakes burnt. Maybe try lowering the temp, and keeping an eye on them. Mine were done in 20 minutes.

Love this recipe! Really yummy! Not dry at all! Very moist and delicious! Just watch baking time and you will find they will not dry out! Yummies
