Cupcake Friday!

Happy Cupcake Friday!!  Last Thursday I posted the cupcakes I made in honor of 9.02.10 and a I feel the need to share the recipe, since it is now my go-to for almost every occasion now.  Several years ago when I lived in New Orleans, my sister came to visit and made this cake [at least I think this is when she made it] for us. 


You may have already heard of the Chocolate Cavity Maker Cake, but if not you may need to try it out and see for yourself how easy and perfectly delicious it is.


The recipe has you make it as a bundt cake with no frosting, but I either do it as a layer cake or as cupcakes, because I really don't think you can ever have enough frosting.  I usually try to stay away from box mixes, but this cake is so evil, I am finding it hard to ever go back to any from-scratch cakes...seriously.  I usually use this buttercream frosting recipe, but I tried this cream cheese one and will use it from now on. I used orange liqueur instead of coffee liqueur, but any liquid would do.  I also used dark chocolate chips instead of  semi-sweet. 


If you give them a shot, you will have to let me know how you like them!  Have a great weekend!!!

These look super tasty.

I know what you mean about doctored-up-box recipes vs. from-scratch. I finally found a from-scratch that tasted better- not too crumbly, dry, dense.

Have a wonderful weekend.
