My son only likes cupcakes with chocolate frosting, so we make these half and half- half of the cupcakes get cream cheese frosting and the other half get chocolate frosting. Delicious either way!
Source: This recipe is our family’s version of a recipe we found in the “America’s Test Kitchen: How Can it Be Gluten Free” cookbook. We tweaked a few things to make it work for us. Hope you enjoy!
