Mocha Cafe Cream Cupcakes image

We made a huge mess in the kitchen but it was well worth it! These are decadent and can be made as fancy as you want. It was fun trying to figure out how to make the hole in the middle perfect and even more fun when we decided to try an apple corer and it worked!! We cut one in half for the photo which gave me an excuse to eat...

Number Of Ingredients 21

CUPCAKE BATTER
1 box triple chocolate cake mix made with pudding
1 1/3 c cold strong coffee
3 eggs
1/4 c sour cream
1/2 box instant chocolate pudding
2-3 tbsp mocha powder
1/2 c vegetable oil
MOCHA CREAM FILLING
4 oz softened cream cheese
1/2 c powdered sugar
1/2 c unsalted butter
1 1/2 c milk
1 box instant chocolate pudding
6 oz cool whip
MOCHA CREAM FROSTING
1 1/2 c heavy whipping cream
4 Tbsp mocha powder/mix
1/2 box instant chocolate pudding mix
powdered sugar (to thicken to desired consistancy)
optional: chocolate covered coffee beans, chocolate curls, chocolate sprinkles for garnish ideas

Steps:

  • 1. Mix cake mix as directed on box, subbing water for coffee. Add sour cream, mocha powder and pudding mix to the batter. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • 2. Using a knife, carve a hole ALMOST to the bottom of each cupcake once they are cooled, right in the center. I made the holes fairly big, as the filling is absolutely awesome (give it up for WENDY'S Boston Cream Filling, with a twist). in a bowl, cream together butter, cream cheese, add in powdered sugar, milk, and chocolate pudding, fold in cool whip til mixed. I use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped, and add the filling into it, piping each hole in each cupcake well over the top.
  • 3. In a mixing bowl, desolve mocha mix in the whipping cream. Beat til fluffy, then add pudding mix and powdered sugar to sweeten and thicken to your desired consistancy. Frost each cupcake either with a knife or by piping it on. Sprinkle just a fine dusting of mocha powder over top each cake, and then drizzle hersheys chocolate syrup over each one
  • 4. Can use Chocolate covered coffee beans, chocolate curls, and/or chocolate sprinkles for decoration and garnish.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cupcakes turned out dry and crumbly. The frosting was also too thick.
