Super Easy Chocolate Cupcakes with Coffee Frosting

10/10/2015

Cupcakes are one of my very favorite things to make...and eat! But they can be so time consuming that I don't make them very often. A friend invited us to their place for supper kind of last minute the other evening and I offered to bring dessert.

I didn't have very many ingredients in the house and wasn't sure what to make. And then I saw a chocolate cake mix and remembered some delicious chocolate coffee cupcakes I had made once. I decided to simplify it x10.


They turned out really great and everyone thought they were delicious! So I decided to share them with everybody else that is busy but still likes yummy and gourmet looking things. I hope you love them as much as we did!

Chocolate Cupcakes​

You will need:

1 Cake Mix
Eggs
Milk
Butter, melted
Vanilla


Each cake mix is different, so the amounts of ingredients will vary according to your cake mix. Simply use milk instead of water, 1 extra egg and melted butter instead of oil, doubled, plus a tsp of Vanilla.

My cake mix called for: 1 cup water, 1/2 cup of oil and 3 eggs. So, I added: 1 cup milk, 1 cup butter, melted, 4 Eggs and 1 tsp. Vanilla.

Mix it all together and put into your lined cupcake pans and bake according to the package instructions.

While its baking mix up the frosting. I used my Mom's trusted buttercream frosting recipe with just a few tweaks to add a mouthwatering coffee flavor. I freely admit I would rather eat the frosting by the spoonful than a cupcake. ;)


Coffee Frosting 

4 cups Powdered Sugar
1/2 cup + 1 1/2 T Shortening
1/8 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/4 cup Hot Coffee

Start mixing everything but coffee - add the coffee in very slowly. Whip it up really good and it's ready to go! If you like as much frosting as cupcake {like me!} then you will want to double your frosting recipe. Here is the recipe for that:

Coffee Frosting {Frosting Lover's Version}

8 cups Powdered Sugar
1 cup + 3 T Shortening
1/4 tsp. Salt
2 tsp. Vanilla
1/2 cup Hot Coffee

Mix the same as above and pile it high on your cupcakes! I used a Wilton 2D tip to get the look I wanted. Garnish with a coffee bean or little bits of chocolate if you like. Now enjoy!!

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and He delights in his way. Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholds him with His hand. - Psalm 37:23 & 24
God bless your day, my friends!
