Can this chocolate cupcake recipe be used as a layer cake?

Yes. You can absolutely use this chocolate cupcake recipe as a chocolate layer cake. When you want to make this into a layer cake, you want to use 9 inch cake pans. Make sure to grease the cake pans well. You will bake the cakes in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes. moist chocolate cupcakes in a triangle

What if I do not have buttermilk? Do I have to use buttermilk

Buttermilk is one of the key ingredients in this buttermilk cake. It reacts with the other ingredients. It creates a light and fluffy cake that makes sure the cake does not taste dense. It also gives the cake a great flavor. I know some people hate to use buttermilk because they do not want to buy a container when they are only using a small amount. If you do not want to buy buttermilk you can make it by adding a tablespoon of vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. Another choice is to use lemon juice with milk.

Why do I need coffee in this chocolate cupcake recipe

Coffee is the secret ingredient in a great chocolate cupcake or chocolate cake recipe. While some people think they do not want to add coffee into their cake, I highly recommend it. It gives the cake the best flavor, makes it moist and there is just no way to get that rich flavor without it. If you choose to exclude the coffee, replace it with hot water. chocolate cupcake with milk and chocolate chunks
