Creamy Chocolate Cupcakes image

The Mexican vanilla and apple cider vinegar give an extra layer of flavoring to these cupcakes. They are actually really good without the filling, making cream cheese frosting as the topping.

Time 45m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda

2 eggs, beaten
¾ cup water
½ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
⅓ cup white sugar
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper cupcake liners.

I got creative with the frosting on these cupcakes and made a chocolate ganache frosting. It was so rich and decadent, and it took the cupcakes to the next level. I also decorated them with fresh berries and chopped nuts.

I made a few substitutions to make these cupcakes a bit healthier. I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour, and I reduced the sugar in the frosting. They still tasted great, and I felt good about serving them to my family.
