Mix all ingredients for cupcake together until moist and well blended.

Put in cupcake cups and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees F.

To make the frosting, melt the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl set over a pot of simmering water.

Set aside to cool until just barely warm.
6
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Continue beating until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Frost cupcakes immediately before the chocolate hardens and the frosting sets.
