I earned a merit badge by dreaming up these cupcakes for a Cub Scouts meeting. You should have seen the grins when the kids bit into the chocolate kisses in the middle. My husband and grandkids say I don't make them often enough. Ingredients:
3-1/3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 cups sugar |
1 cup baking cocoa |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 cups buttermilk |
1 cup butter, melted |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
30 milk chocolate kisses |
1 can (16 ounces) fudge frosting |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Combine the buttermilk, butter, eggs and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients until blended.
2. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cupcake until batter completely covers candy.
3. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cakes comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Frost cupcakes. Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen.
