Best Chocolate Cupcakes [ever]
I am a firm believer that there are three parts to a great dessert:
1. easy
2. delicious
3. beautiful
I love these cupcakes because they are as easy as making something from a box but SO much richer and more moist than chocolate cake mix. Plus, whip up a frosting for the top and you’ve got some gourmet looking cupcakes. Feel free to add a drop of mint extract to the frosting if you’re dying it green 🙂
I should also let you know this is a family recipe. Thanks, Aunt Jenny, for the best chocolate cake recipe ever.
Ingredients:
1 Yellow Cake Mix
1 Box of Instant Chocolate Pudding (3.9 oz)
1/2 C Sugar
3/4 C Water
3/4 C Vegetable Oil
4 Eggs
1 C Sour Cream
1 C Milk Chocolate Chips (optional)
Bake at 350 for twenty minutes or until the cupcake top bounces back after pressure.
Or, if you’re baking it in a bundt pan, its an hour (check at 50 min.).
Oh, and make sure they cool before your frost them – unless you want the frosting to melt down the sides of your cupcakes…..either way, they’ll taste great 🙂
These look lush. I'll bet they taste lush too.
These look delicious!
Alright now, they look YUMMY! I wanted to lick the screen LOL

Yum, these look good! I've never used sour cream in any sweets, although I've seen it done before. I'm intrigued by how that affects the taste and texture of it. Will have to try that out soon!
