Who likes chocolatey cupcakes topped with chocolate chip cookie dough frosting?
If you answered “no” to any of the above questions, please leave.
These cupcakes might be the best thing that ever happened. Ever. When my husband eats one, he says he is the luckiest man alive. That’s pretty serious!
Ingredients
- 1 box devil’s food cake mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 ½ sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- ¾ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Milk (about 2-3 tbs. to thin out, add as needed)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Mix together until everything is well-combined, but try to avoid over-mixing the batter.
- Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners; fill each liner a little more than ¾ of the way full with batter. Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
- In a bowl, beat together the butter and sugars until creamy with a hand or stand mixer.
- Mix in the vanilla extract, flour, and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Spoon some of the frosting on top of each cooled cupcake and spread with a knife.
Notes
I like for my cupcakes to be a little bigger, so I got about 18 cupcakes out of this recipe instead of the usual 24. You can certainly make them smaller if desired, but you may also want to mix up some extra of the cookie dough frosting
This post was originally a guest post for my sweet friend, Emily over at Life on Food. So, please go give Emily a shout out and check out the recipe!
