Chocolate Cup Cakes

I made this cup cakes as a trial for my new muffin baking sheets that I bought from Edi Store in Mayestik Market. I love the new muffin sheets, my cup cakes turned out great!

For the recipe I just modified the butter cake recipe, substituted some flour with cocoa and it turned out just perfect.

For the topping, I used melted dark cooking chocolate with some butter then put a strawberry chocolate in the top of it to make it nicer.

Wanna try this?...here is the recipe...
