Notes

• There's white frosting in the recipe but I did not make them, refer to the link below for frosting ingredients and instructions if you want to add them.
• There's a conversion calculator on this recipe site if you want the measurements in grams, link here.
• Cupcakes will crack if over baked, be careful on the timing.

I've cut down sugar when baking, only added 1 cup instead of the original 1½ cups, cupcake came out nicely and it has slightly bitter cocoa taste which I love! Suitable for people who enjoys cupcake but do not like them sweet.
