These are the most mouth-watering cupcakes you will ever have. They are very dark chocolate and very moist and are filled with a whipped whoopie pie filling. They crack open when you fill them. These have been much loved in our family for years-loved more than Whoopie Pies. The batter also makes a wonderful 9x13 cake. Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
3/4 cup cocoa |
2 cups sugar |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 cup milk |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 eggs |
1 pinch salt |
1 cup hot coffee |
4 tablespoons flour |
1 cup milk |
1 pinch salt |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup crisco shortening |
2 1/2-3 teaspoons vanilla |

1. You will also need a parchment decorating bag (or bag of some kind) and a jelly donut filling tip (or long tip of some kind).
2. In a large bowl mix all of the cake batter together except for the coffee.
3. After it is mixed well, add the hot coffee, mixing well again.

6. Cool the cupcakes before filling.

9. Put this into a saucepan, and on a medium heat, cook till you have a thick paste, stirring constantly.
