Crazy Chocolate Cupcakes

Thanks for sharing!

Crazy cupcakes are super simple to make, if you have a whisk and a mixing bowl you can do it. There are no eggs and no butter, just pantry staples. The cupcakes are also soft, full of chocolate flavor and devilishly good.

Soft and scrumptious chocolate cupcakes that are easy to make and have a rich chocolate flavor. These devilishly good chocolate cupcakes are going to become an instant favorite in your family like they did in ours.

The hardest part will be deciding which frosting to top them with!

Truthfully, this recipe is hardly new to the blog.  In fact, it is just a slight spin on an old favorite, the chocolate depression cake.

I have used that recipe as the base for so many different chocolate cake recipes here, so you would think I might grown tired of it.  You would think wrong!

The thing is, when you have something that is perfect already there is no need to keep looking for something else. This chocolate cake is THE chocolate cake for our family.

Of course it doesn’t hurt that it is so darned easy to make.  Literally a couple of bowls and a whisk is all you need.  Well, and a pan. And some ingredients…

Ok. So you do need a few things, but honestly it is really easy. You can whip one up at a moment’s notice because you don’t have to let any butter soften.  There aren’t any eggs to beat either.

That is one of the best parts about this cake, it is just pantry staples that I absolutely always have on hand. No heavy equipment or complicated steps are required either.

But the absolute best part about this cake is how good it turns out absolutely every single time. I mean every time!

Some chocolate cakes are dry and bland, not this one! It is moist, flavorful, soft and delicious. (Just the way a chocolate cake should be!)

So whip up the batter and Little Dude will be happy to put some cupcake liners in your cupcake pans. It is one of his favorite jobs!

Then just use a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to get the perfect amount of batter into each well.  It makes the process so easy!

These beauties all turned into some fun fall cupcakes. Some got topped with crusting buttercream dyed orange with green buttercream tendrils and pretzel rod stems to make cute little pumpkins.

The little pumpkins got delivered to a bake sale at work to raise money for the local United Way.  I wasn’t in the office much that day, so I am not sure how quickly they went.

But the bake sale was a success, so I’d like to think it is because the cupcakes were so good! 😉

The rest got turned into other fun fall treats that I will share with you more in a day or two.  I will also be sharing the delicious fudge frosting I put on them. YUMMMMMMM!
