Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Chocolate and whipped cream is one of the most classic flavors combinations. Both in terms of appearance and taste, it is a wonderful combination – so delicious and beautiful I simply don’t know anyone who does not like it.

These following chocolate cupcakes are very easy to prepare and have an impressive appearance thanks to the whipped cream at the top. They are so soft and have a melt in the mouth tender texture, and the mound of cream at the top makes them simply gorgeous.
