Best Ever Chocolate Cupcakes

Not from the box. No sawdust included. I hope that doesn't disappoint anyone.


Chocolate Cupcakes:    Shannon Brems, originally from Suzanne Disbrow

3 C. flour
2 C. sugar
½ C. cocoa
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt

Mix the above in Bosch. Then blend in:

2 eggs
1 C. buttermilk
1 C. oil

Then pour in:

1 C. boiling water
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix well. Use ¼ cup measuring cup to distribute the batter evenly amongst the 36 cupcake liners.
Bake at 330 for 20 minutes.


Fast Fudge Frosting:

1/3 C. butter
1/3 C. hot water

Put the above in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave until butter melts and water is boiling hot. Add:

Dash of salt
1 tsp. vanilla
½ C. cocoa
4+ C. powdered sugar

Dip the tops of the cupcakes into the frosting and let them “dry.”


Cream Cheese Frosting:

8 oz. cream cheese
1 C. butter
5 C. powdered sugar
2 tsp. vanilla

Beat butter and cream cheese for 2 minutes. Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time beating for 1 minute with each addition. Add vanilla in the middle. Pipe onto cupcakes.
