Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes
O.G. said chocolate causes depression. No way. This cupcake couldn’t make me happier. I’m pretty sure chocolate makes the world go around.
Despite the melted chocolate incorporated into the batter I promise you the cupcake is NOT overly sweet. However, what DOES push it over the top is the chocolate frosting and the Espresso Chip Cookies. Chocolate+chocolate+more chocolate. . What can I say, call me a depression lifter.
