dark chocolate cupcakes with chocolate cream cheese frosting

I am on vacation in Florida and tonight, Casey and I had an extreme chocolate craving. We drove to the nearby icecream shop but there was a long line that we did not want to wait in! So, I decided it would be fun to satisfy our chocolate craving through baking something delicious! At Northwestern, there is a great new cupcake place that serves chocolate cupcakes that are out of this world. They use cream cheese in their chocolate frosting which sounds a little bit odd but it is in fact one of the most delicious things I have ever tasted. I attempted to replicate these cupcakes and they turned out REALLY well!!

Unfortunately, I did not have an icing squeezer so I had to spread on the icing by hand and it looks sloppy. However while pretty ugly, these cupcakes tasted beautiful. They are decadently rich and chocolatey. I love love loveee them. Something interesting to note: while of course the cream cheese is not vegan, the cupcakes themselves are (I did not use any eggs). They had just as much flavor as any non-vegan cupcake I have had. mmm these were so wonderful! I may go eat another one now...
