Food: Double Chocolate Cupcakes

   I made these cupcakes for mothers day, which is tomorrow. They turned out amazing! 

   The cupcakes are made without eggs or butter so they are a bit more healthy than traditional cupcakes. But the Frosting does have butter and milk in it. I got the cupcake recipe from site, and tweaked it a bit. 

The cupcakes are from;
