Sometimes all you really want is a little chocolate. Well these cupcakes are for when you want plenty of chocolate – no skimping. I’ve shared several different chocolate cake and cupcake recipes, including the ones used in these cupcakes and this cake. And while I love them all, if I could only ever bake one chocolate cupcake ever again, it’d be this one.
How to Make Moist Chocolate Cupcakes
To start, the cupcake itself is maybe the most moist cupcake you’ll ever have. It’s ridiculously good. I never knew homemade chocolate cupcakes could be so good until I had these. Part of their secret is that they are baked at a lower temperature.
You’ll notice when you make the cupcakes that the batter is very thin. I mean like, very thin. It’s supposed to be that way. These are FULL of moisture. Baking at a lower temperature allows the cupcakes to bake more evenly and end up super fluffy and so moist. Unlike some cupcakes that end up dry on the outside and crack, these don’t do that and are moist throughout for DAYS. They might even be more moist on day 2 and 3. Ridiculously awesome.

These Moist Chocolate Cupcakes are made completely from scratch! The cupcake is made with oil and is so moist, it melts in your mouth with a fudgy frosting!

RubySnap Judy Orange Cream Cookies

There’s a little hidden gem in a small shop right outside of downtown Salt Lake City, Utah that sells unique cookies that keeps me coming back for more. It’s called RubySnap and they have quite the following. We have a tradition of traveling to Park City every October to watch a football game and see actual leaves change colors. It’s a rite of passage to visit RubySnap to get our cookie fix when we are in town. Last time we were there, I brought all of my brothers along with me. We are all crazy foodies! We sampled almost every single flavor and went home with two large boxes of cookies. My Dad was shaking his head at our antics. I told him that he raised us to love good food! After partaking way too many cookies, we voted on our favorites and since then, I am have been busy in the kitchen trying to replicate their famous cookies. This copycat recipe took some trial and error in the kitchen and I think we finally nailed it! This RubySnap Judy Orange Cream Cookie starts...
