By popular demand, I bring some Splenda chocolate cupcakes, I use Splenda, the granulated baking version. Remember the fact that sugar-free does not mean they are suitable for diabetics as they have other carbohydrates, so consult with your doctor or nutritionist.
These cupcakes have a denser texture than the ones made with sugar and should be consumed the same day or freeze them once baked. The taste depends on the cocoa, use the best quality.
