This is a classic chocolate cupcake recipe, because we all need the basics too. This one gets a twist from the caramel-flavored DeeBest chocolate. I served these with fruit dipped into the extra melted caramel-chocolate on the side (like those caramel chocolate-dipped gooseberries…yum).

Ingredients

Cupcakes (no mixer!)

  • 1/4 cup brewed coffee

  • 1/3 cup buttermilk (or 5 tablespoons soy milk + bit of vinegar)

  • 3 tablespoons oil

  • 1 egg

  • 1 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla Extract

Chocolate Caramel Frosting

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine

  • 1/2 cup shortening

  • 4 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted

  • 1 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla Extract

  • 1/4 cup milk or non-dairy milk

  • 4 ounces DeeBest Chocolate, Caramel Flavor, melted

  • 1/4 cup Gefen Cocoa

Directions

Prepare the Cupcakes

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.

2.

In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and mix to combine.

3.

Add batter to prepared pan. Bake 12 minutes for mini cupcakes; or 15–17 minutes for regular cupcakes, until tops are firm.

Prepare the Frosting

1.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat margarine and shortening until smooth and fluffy.

2.

Slowly add in sifted confectioners’ sugar and cocoa. Add vanilla, melted chocolate, and slowly add in milk, one tablespoon at a time, until frosting is desired consistency. You can add additional confectioners’ sugar or milk to thicken or thin the frosting as needed (thicker for piping, thinner for spreading).

3.

Pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
