This is a yummy chocolate cupcakes using vegetables oil and valrhona cocoa powder. For the heart shaped, I just baked a regular sponge cake and cut out using heart shaped cutters.
This cupcakes recipe is shared by my baking group buddy Jasmine which she modified from Ina Garten. They are so soft and you just cannot resist the aroma of chocolate. You can also omit the heart shape sponge cake and make it a chocolate cupcakes and top with frosting of your choice. Below I am sharing the recipe on the chocolate cupcakes only.
