Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a muffin tin with paper liners

Allow to cool slightly

In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt

Add the melted chocolate mixture to the sugar mixture and stir until well combined

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs

Allow the cupcakes to cool completely in the tin

While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the chocolate cream cheese frosting

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth

Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese

Beat until the frosting is light and fluffy

Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, pipe or spread the chocolate cream cheese frosting on top of each cupcake

Optional: Decorate with gluten-free sprinkles for a festive touch

Refrigerate the cupcakes for about 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set before serving
