Ingredients:

Serving

1 (18.25 oz) box devil's food chocolate cake mix
1 1/2 tsp ground ancho chile pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 tsp ground ancho chile pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
4 cups confectioners' sugar , or more as needed
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 tsp clear vanilla extract, or to taste
24 small dried red chiles

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 cupcake cups with paper liners.
Empty the boxed cake mix into a mixing bowl, and whisk in 1 1/2 teaspoon of ground ancho chile and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat in the water, vegetable oil, and eggs; beat for 2 minutes. Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake cups, filling them 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 18 to 22 minutes. Remove and cool completely before frosting.
In a bowl, sift 1 teaspoon of ground ancho chile, 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and the cinnamon with the confectioners' sugar. Beat in the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until the frosting is smooth; mix in the vanilla extract. Spread the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes in attractive swirls, and poke a small dried chile, stem-side up, into the frosting as a garnish.
