Place in paper-lined or greased cupcake tin. Fill each cupcake tin to about 3/4 full. Makes about 8 normal-sized cupcakes.

Bake for about 20-30 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

Allow to cool. Frost each cupcake with 1 tablespoon of frosting or omit. Remember to remove about 65 calories/3 grams of fat if you don't use it.

Store in Fridge if they don't disappear within a few hours :)

Notes - "sweetner of choice" - I know everyone has their favorite natural or artifical sweetner, (vegan or non-vegan choice) they use for baking so adjust calories or taste to the equivalant of 1/2 c. of what you usually use for cakes/muffins.

Duncan hines creamy homestyle frosting is accidentally vegan. Feel free to use other frostings or omit it altogether. This receipe is very, very chocolately with the frosting and I love chocolate!
