FANCY CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Mmmm....hmmmm.......At last, I baked it after all these times looking at other's cupcakes only :). I modified the original recipe to the available ingredients in my kitchen's drawer. Where did I get the recipe?? That's the problem, I forgot who posted it. I tried to find her blog but I can't found it :( *so sorry dear*.
Anyway, I reduced some ingredients' measurements such as sugar and cocoa powder, but it still tasted good though :). And as I am a newbie in baking, so I think this recipe is easy enough for newbies :).
So....dare to try??
