Perfect Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese frosting, oh it sure is a FAVORITE around here.
 
Having a chocolate cupcake recipe is a MUST in your recipe box. Also cream cheese frosting is good on just about ANYTHING. It’s smooth and creamy and I love it on Carrot Cake and Red Velvet Cake and well just about everything deserves this delicious frosting!
