How do you keep your cupcakes from drying out when cooking?

As long as you follow the directions, and measure carefully, these chocolate cupcakes should bake perfectly. Dryness comes from the recipe not being followed or “guessing” on the measurements.

No one likes dry cupcakes…no one! Don’t make these Valentine’s Day cupcakes without following the recipe perfectly!

Can you make this chocolate cupcake recipe with a boxed cake mix?

Absolutely, but where’s the fun in that? The point of Valentine’s Day is to make something special for your sweetie, right? Don’t cut corners on this special day. Dedicate yourself and create this delicious recipe. You’ll be so happy that you did.

Can you Bake A Lindt Chocolate Truffle Into A Cupcake?

You can but in this recipe, I chose not too. You could fill your liners like usual, and then gently push the truffle into the middle, leaving half of it above the batter. The batter will rise to cover and the truffle will not end up at the bottom of the cupcake. Once the cupcakes cool, the chocolate will melt into the cake.
