Chocolate cupcakes made from boxed mix that taste homemade with a few easy hacks.
Servings 30 Cupcakes
Ingredients
- *The amount of ingredients you need will vary if you use a different cake mix. Just make sure that the ratios are followed and you should end up with a perfect cupcake!
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 3/4 cup butter melted/room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 1-2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven as directed on the box recipe.
- Line your cupcake pan.
- Add all of your ingredients to a bowl and whisk or mix together with a stand or hand mixer for about two minutes.
- Fill your cupcake liners about ¾ of the way full with batter.
- Bake as directed on the box until you can test with a toothpick. You can also tell that the cupcakes are done by poking the top with your finger (be careful if it is still hot). If the cupcake bounces back, it is done. If your finger leaves a dent in the top, the cupcake is not cooked thoroughly.
- Cool your cupcakes and frost if desired. I used this recipe to frost my cupcakes.
