These are the best homemade gluten free chocolate cupcakes you’ll ever have, even better than regular ones. So rich with deep chocolate flavor, super moist, easy to make, and the recipe makes 1 dozen that’s easily doubled.. Topped with my favorite chocolate frosting and 3 topping options: salted, sprinkles, or chocolate chips. These cupcakes are perfect for birthdays or showers.

Notes

  1. See post for dairy free and vegan substitutions.
  2. I’ve also made this with cold coffee. If using cold/room temperature coffee, whisk it into the other wet ingredients before adding them to the dry ingredients.
  3. Hot water can be subbed for the hot coffee.
  4. See post for frosting suggestions.
