1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk

For cupcakes fill 2/3 of the muffin cup full. Cook for 22-25 minutes.

Recipe calls for the use of Perfectly Chocolate Frosting so here is that recipe. My friend made this the other night and just used chocolate syrup and powdered sugar topped with strawberries and it was delicious! I would think that caramel topping would also be delicious!

Perfectly Chocolate Frosting
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter or margarine
2/3 cup Hershey's cocoa
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla

Melt butter. Stir in cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating on medium speed to spreading consistency. Add more milk if needed. Stir in vanilla.
