Here are some cupcake recipes floating around in my recipe file. Of course the Black Bottom Cupcakes are our favorite, and you could consider it a filled cupcake recipe. Also see the Halloween Cupcakes
These recipes will show you how to make easy homemade cupakes, of course any cake mix can be made into cupcakes, just don't let them cook as long as a regular cake. Baking cupakes is fun. I love baking cupcakes more than making a regular cake. The kids like them better too, not so much gets wasted. Also you may like to make the Cupcake cookies.
Cupcake Tips:
-What
do you do it you run out of paper baking cups? Just put 1/2 a tsp. of oil in each
cupcake holder. They will not stick.
-No spill cupcakes. An ice cream scoop
can be used to fill cupcake papers without spilling.
Black Bottom Cupcakes Recipe
1
1/2 cups flour1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup water
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 cup cooking oil
1 tblsp. white vinegar
Mix together in a bowl flour, sugar, cocoa,
salt and baking soda.
Add water, vanilla, cooking oil and vinegar. Beat until
smooth.
Line muffin tins with paper baking cups. Fill each cup 1/3 full with
batter.
Top each with a heaping teaspoonful of the cream cheese mixture below.
8 oz. cream cheese softened
1 egg
1/3 cup sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
6 oz. chocolate chips
Combine in a small mixing bowl the softened cream cheese, egg, sugar and salt. Beat well, then stir in chocolate chips. Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes. Yields 2 dozen cupcakes.
Tips: These don't need to be iced. Also I save a little of the cake batter, and after putting the filling in, I add a teaspoon of cake batter on top to cover the cream cheese. It kind of gives it the effect of a Hostess Cupcake.
-Also, once I didn't put chocolate chips in the filling, and the center of the cupcakes "fell" after baking. I wonder why that happened???
-Once I used a chocolate cake mix instead of making my own, and they came out just gorgeous.
