MEXICAN CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES
Being a big fan of Mexican hot chocolate, I just love the slight accent flavor of cinnamon in chocolate. This recipe for chocolate cake evolved with experimentation as I figured out how to achieve a light fluffy cake and infused it with a hint of coffee and cinnamon. Coffee enhances the flavor of cocoa powder, resulting in a more chocolaty cake. Cocoa powder is bitter on its own, with hints of fruit and spice that are detectable when you get a good-quality cocoa. Coffee has these same flavor elements, and a small amount of coffee in the batter will help these cocoa flavors stand out even more than they would on their own. Cinnamon adds another layer of richness that complements the underlying spice flavors in cocoa. Add a dollop of blackberry preserves in the center of the cupcakes.

Tips:
- For a richer, more flavorful pudding filling, use a high-quality Mexican chocolate. Look for brands that use real cocoa beans and spices, such as cinnamon, chili pepper, and nutmeg.
- If you don't have a cupcake pan, you can bake the cupcakes in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just increase the baking time to 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- To make the cupcakes ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Once cooled, store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. When you're ready to serve, bring the cupcakes to room temperature before filling them with the pudding.
- For a fun and festive presentation, decorate the cupcakes with Mexican-themed sprinkles, candy, or edible glitter.
Conclusion:
These Mexican chocolate pudding-filled cupcakes are a delicious and unique treat that are perfect for any occasion. The rich, creamy pudding filling is perfectly complemented by the moist chocolate cupcakes, and the overall flavor is sure to please everyone.
