Chocolate Chiffon Cupcakes

Last updated on June 20, 2023 By Anna 8 Comments This post may contain affiliate links.

Chocolate Chiffon Cupcakes were inspired by a trip to Los Angeles where we hopped from bakery to bakery trying different cupcakes. One bakery in particular was Vanilla Bake Shop, where I found my favorite.

Chocolate Chiffon Cupcakes

When we got home from the trip, I made Chocolate Chiffon Cupcakes using Spago's cake recipe for the base and topping it with a frosting from a gardening website that at one point included frosting recipes. It no longer exists, but my notes said it was too rich anyway and I've since found a million better frostings.

I seemed to have made this recipe only once, but I plan on making the cupcakes again soon.

    Too bad about Susie Cakes, but I'll have to mention Vanilla Bake Shop to my family
    Did you use regular or dutch process cocoa?
