Too Much Chocolate Cupcakes |
|
1 (18.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix |
 |
Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, beaten eggs and water. Stir in chocolate chips.
Place cupcake liners in cupcake pan. Fill cupcake cavities 2/3 full. Bake for 20 minutes, or until top is springy to the touch and a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely. Remove cupcakes from pan. Frost with buttercream frosting. Yield: 24 cupcakes.
*If desired, use Godiva Chocolate liqueur, Kahlua, Bailey's Irish Cream, Chambord, or other flavored liqueur in place of the water. The favorite is Godiva Chocolate liqueur.
**Note: For a combination of flavors, combine all cupcake ingredients except for water. Divide batter into four portions, 12-ounces each. Add 2 Tablespoons of liqueur to each of the portions, e.g., Godiva Chocolate liqueur frosted with chocolate buttercream frosting; Kahlua frosted with mocha buttercream frosting; Bailey's Irish Cream frosted with plain buttercream; Chambord frosted with chocolate buttercream frosting, etc.
Note: If desired, fill the cupcakes with cream filing.
