Black Bottom Cupcakes

I was looking through my old tin recipe file and found this card, handwritten by a lady named Emily Smith. I worked with her years and years ago. I love that it is in her handwriting and there is a smear of chocolate on it. I have not made this recipe in so long; I really cannot remember when I did. I was looking for something different to make for our Sweet Taste of Saturday and this one jumped right out at me. What an easy, moist, tasty cupcake that could be used to make a 9 x 13 inch cake too! That’s what I love a recipe that is versatile and delicious! Thank you Emily.
