Time 1h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup white sugar
¾ cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
½ cup milk
¼ cup shortening
2 tablespoons shortening
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup unsalted butter
2 ½ tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt for cupcakes together into a medium bowl. Combine mayonnaise, sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Slowly add flour mixture and beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Divide batter evenly amongst the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 25 to 28 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • While the cupcakes are baking, stir together flour and salt for the filling in a small saucepan. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until thick and pudding-like, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
  • Cream shortening and confectioners' sugar together until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in chilled pudding mixture and vanilla extract, beating until light and fluffy. Transfer filling to a pastry bag fitted with a small tip.
  • Push the pastry tip into the top of a cupcake about 1 inch deep. Squeeze filling to fill cupcake, stopping before it starts to leak outside of the hole. Repeat to fill remaining cupcakes.
  • Combine butter, milk, and cocoa powder for the frosting in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat and transfer to a mixing bowl. Immediately add confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract; beat well. Frost cupcakes with warm frosting.

These cupcakes were a little dry, but the frosting was delicious. I think I'll try making them again with a different recipe for the cake batter.

These cupcakes were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.
