These Easy Chocolate Cupcakes are perfect for when you are short on time! You only need FOUR ingredients! That’s it! So, they can be pulled together in a pinch and still look like you slaved in the kitchen!
Like I said, you only need four ingredients, a devils food cake mix, can of pumpkin, tub of vanilla icing and red flood coloring. I actually ended up using two tubs of icing…I like icing 🙂
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, add cake mix and pumpkin.
Using a hand mixer, beat until completely combined.
Place liners in cupcake tin. This recipe only makes one dozen, if you need more you can double the recipe.
Evenly divide the batter into the liners. I used a cookie scoop to easily divide and placed two scoops in each liner.
The batter will be thick and may need to be smoothed down a little to shape the cupcake.
Bake for 20 – 22 minutes checking with a toothpick. Cool on a rack before icing.
When cooled, mix the one drop of red food coloring in the tub(s) of icing and completely combine.
If the icing is a little too soft to work with, place in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Enjoy!
