    The cake is moist and light with the perfect chocolate texture. Coffee mixed into the batter gives this cupcake a sweet hint of mocha. When my daughter Faith made these she said they were quick and easy to whip up a batch.

    The frosting is an intense fudgy chocolate buttercream frosting.   This is the frosting that you will not want to share licking the bowl when you are done icing the cupcakes! What's even better, this frosting is super easy to make.  I found the recipe over at My Frugal Adventures , oh so yummy!

    To make these cupcakes a little more special my daughter added chopped Whoppers crumbs sprinkled  and then a whole Whopper on top of the fudgy icing.

      In the instructions for the cake, it says add vanilla, but it isn't in the ingredient list. What is the measurement? Again, for the cake part of the recipe. Thanks.

        Oh my, sorry I missed that. It's 1 teaspoon. I changed the recipe on the page to correct this. Thanks for letting me know!

      Is that 2 1/4 cups of powdered sugar for the frosting?

        Yes, 2 1/4 cups powdered sugar. I think I'll go change that on my recipe. Most of us know it as powdered sugar. Hope you enjoy!!

        I have used it in a pinch when I was out of baking soda and didn't see much difference. Here is what Sally Baking Products have to say about it.
        Baking powder contains baking soda. It is a mixture of baking soda, cream of tartar (a dry acid), and sometimes cornstarch. These days, most baking powder sold is double acting. ... You can still use baking powder as the leavening agent in recipes calling for an acidic ingredient.

      Hi. For the 1/2 cup strong hot coffee, what is the measurement of a coffee before i put 1/2 cup of hot water?

        I usually just make some extra coffee in the morning ( I like mine string) and use that when I make the cupcake. If you are brewing in a french press I would say a tablespoon per 1/2 cup.

      Easy, delicious chocolate cupcake recipe. Cupcakes had perfectly formed domes. I didn’t have whipping cream on hand so used regular milk, about 2 T, and it was very good and easy to pipe. Thanks for a great recipe!
