If you’re looking for other great cupcake recipes, may I suggest these classic Red Velvet Cupcakes. Another Valentine’s Day treat that is elegant enough for any occasion.

These Root Beer Cupcakes have a WOW when it comes to taste.

These cupcakes are wonderfully chocolatey, incredibly moist, and you simply cannot beat the combined taste of cherry and milk chocolate. What an epic combination!
