Chocolate W/ Fudge Cupcakes

Chocolate W/Fudge (Makes 24 Cupcakes)


I was having a cupcake sale and decided to make a bunch of cupcakes. I was thinking of what kinds I’m going to make. Well my first idea was Chocolate, everyone loves chocolate! So i got a chocolate recipe and I’m like Chocolate is Chocolate.. Why not make Chocolate with Fudge! What i mean by Chocolate with Fudge is the cupcake is Chocolate and the middle is Fudge. How i did that was with an apple core! I will explain how in the recipe.

In a large bowl of a stand mixer gently stir together the flour, sugar, sifted cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
