KID-MADE COCOA CUPCAKES
I'm only a kid, and this is the first recipe I've created. I spent a year perfecting these cupcakes, asking advice from owners of local bakeries and my baker friends. I make them for every special occasion in my family and sometimes just for fun. If you want the cupcakes to taste more like hot cocoa, double the amount of hot cocoa mix. This recipe works well with multiple frosting flavors: mint, maple syrup, vanilla, marshmallow and buttercream. Decorate them any way you want! -Maia Hubscher, South Orange, New Jersey

[email protected]The frosting was too runny. I had to add more powdered sugar to thicken it up.
Lacey Franks
[email protected]The cupcakes were a bit dry. I think I overbaked them.
Damani Daley
[email protected]These cupcakes are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the frosting next time.

[email protected]I've made these cupcakes with both regular cocoa powder and Dutch-process cocoa powder. I prefer the Dutch-process cocoa powder because it gives the cupcakes a more intense chocolate flavor.

[email protected]These cupcakes are also great for freezing. I often make a double batch and freeze half of them for later.
