These Godiva Liqueur Chocolate Cupcakes are made from a vanilla cupcake recipe which is brushed with Godiva Dark Chocolate Liqueur and topped with a cocoa buttercream flavored with the same liqueur.

You can use any chocolate liqueur, or any other flavor you choose, actually. These can be made in the same manner with a berry flavored schnapps, or with Kahlua.
