In a large bowl whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    The original recipe on JoyofBaking says it makes 12 regular sized cupcakes. This recipe says it makes 24 cupcakes. This recipe is not a "healthier" version of a chocolate cupcake. The cupcakes are just smaller, hence, less calories. I still want to make them though. - 1/9/13

    I made these and I didn't want to stop from having them; but I brought them into my co-workers who absolutely loved them because of the moistness even the next day - 5/4/11

    It only makes 12. Do I have to double the calories? Not happy - 2/1/14

    I used Stevia instead of sugar and they came out great. - 3/4/13

    The nutrition information is based on 25 cupcakes the recipe states it makes 24, wonder what the true nutritional information is. - 10/28/13

    Too much sugar to be that low calorie. I won't make them again. - 10/21/13

    I followed the recipe exactly, and the cupcakes were good, but a touch more savory than sweet. The cocoa left a slight bitter aftertaste as well. - 9/28/13

    I followed the recipe exactly and they looked great in the oven, but when I pulled them out after 20 minutes they were all sunken in... What happened?? - 3/11/13
