Re: Looking for red velvet and chocolate cupcake recipes!

This is my favorite chocolate cake recipe. I have tried a few but I really like this one. It doesn't have coffee taste. I have made this whole cake and it is always a hit.
If you do decide to make the frosting, the color is more of a latte color than dark chocolate in the picture.

Red Velvet I still haven't found a good one. I do notice though, that if you over beat it, it becomes dense.
