Best Chocolate Cupcakes [ever]
This is the very best chocolate cupcake recipe.
- 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 🙂
