- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Serve and enjoy your delicious homemade chocolate cupcakes!
