Time 2h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup whipping cream
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ devil's food cake mix
1 box (4-serving size) chocolate fudge instant pudding and pie filling mix
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 container Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy chocolate frosting
Powdered sugar
Sliced strawberries

Steps:

  • In 1-quart saucepan, heat whipping cream over medium-high heat until hot but not boiling. Stir in chocolate chips until melted and mixture is smooth. Refrigerate about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until thick.
  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 24 large (2 3/4x1 1/4-inch) muffin cups (dark or nonstick pans not recommended). In large bowl, beat cake mix, pudding mix, water, oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl constantly. Place 1/4 cup batter in each muffin cup. Spoon 1 tablespoon cold chocolate mixture on top of batter in center of each cup.
  • Bake 20 to 23 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Cool 1 minute. Carefully remove from pan; place on cooking parchment paper. Cool 10 minutes. Frost with chocolate frosting. Just before serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Garnish with strawberry slices. Serve warm. Store loosely covered.

These cupcakes were a disaster! The centers were not molten and the cupcakes were dry.

Not a fan of these cupcakes. They were too dense and the chocolate flavor was overpowering.
