Tips:
- Use a good quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. A dark, Dutch-process cocoa powder will give you the richest chocolate flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Don't overcook the muffins. Overcooked muffins will be dry and crumbly. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. If you try to frost them while they're still warm, the frosting will melt and slide off.
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
