Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Cupcake with Chocolate Frosting

I am addicted to chocolate cupcakes lately and this is my 4th attempt to bake cupcakes and it was fun. I was checking a couple of videos about making the perfect moist chocolate cupcake and whhalla!! The best chocolate cupcake is jut at the back of the secret recipe.. HERSHEY's unsweetened cocoa. All you need to do is to make use of your creativity. For me a couple of mini marshmallows and candy sprinkle will do.
