Quick and Easy Chocolate Cupcakes

yeild: 24 regular sized cupcakes

8 TBSP of Cocoa (sift out lumps)

2/3 Cups of margarine or butter softened to room temperature

1 3/4 Cups of granulated sugar

1 3/4 Cups of all purpose flour

1 1/4 Cups of water

3 Eggs

1 tsp of baking soda

pinch of salt

Put all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed with and electric hand mixer until smooth. Fill, lined muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake in a preheated 350F oven for approx. 20 minutes or until done (Spring back when lightly touched or tooth pick inserted in the middle comes out clean.)

Remove from muffin tins and cool on wire racks. Frost and decorate as desired. Use sprinkles or M&M's or Smarties.....the sky is the limit. Let the kids get creative. This is where that sense of humor comes into play.
