Classic Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Frosting
Cupcakes are the ideal treat during school events, since you can prep an entire batch and give every child, young or old a handful of goodness. However, figuring out how to make cupcakes that are not super unhealthy can be tricky. I spotted this recipe using Karo Light Corn Syrup and thought I share it today.
Yield: 12 cupcakes

1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line one cupcake pan with 12 cupcake liners. Set it aside.
2. In medium bowl mix flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
