In a medium bowl whisk together the wet ingredients fold into dry ingredients the batter will be thick, spoon 3~4 TBSP of batter into each muffin cup. Place tin into preheated oven and bake @ 375 for 15~18 minutes. Cool for 7~10 minutes and place on cooling rack before frosting.

This is my all time favorite “Chocolate Frosting”… I make this frosting when I want to frost a plain white cake. It’s yummy and it never fails me!
