Semi Homemade Chocolate Cupcakes w/ Cream Cheese Icing

Sep 16, 2010 · 12 Comments

Chocolate CupcakesIngredients:

1 box of chocolate cake mix
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup coco
1 cup milk
¼ cup brewed coffee
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 tablespoons orange marmalade
5 eggs
1/3 stick sweet butter – softened
½ cup applesauce

Icing:

8 oz. package cream cheese

1/2 stick of sweet softened butter
1 cup powdered sugar
½ cup coco
1 tablespoons instant coffee
1 tsp rum extract

Preheat Oven 350 degrees:

In large bowl combine all of the dry ingredients for the cake and mix. In a smaller bowl combine all of the wet ingredients for the cake and mix with an electric mixer.

Combine both bowls and mix well with an electric mixer. Place in cup cake trays and bake until the toothpick test comes clean. About 15-20 minutes

Combine all of the ingredients for the icing in a medium bowl and mix with an electric mixer. When the cupcakes have cooled top the cupcakes with the icing as you seerve them.

This is a gourmet tasting cupcake that you would pay big bucks for in the fancy coffee houses! You made them for pennies and know what went in them!

Enjoy with Lots of Love,

Catherine

    Well, Catherine, I know that I’ll never turn a chocolate cupcake down, and since your son validated the delicious-ness level of the icing, these have to be awesome. Thank you so much!

    This frosting is so silky and shiny. I believe it is the best ever. I love cream cheese frosting and pairing it with chocolate makes it even better.
