Ingredients
For the Brownie Cupcakes
- 1 box Brownie Mix
- 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 2.5 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 stick Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 1/2 cup Hot Coffee
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 packet Fudge Packet (optional) Optional for enhanced chocolate flavor
For the Frosting
- 1.5 sticks Unsalted Butter, softened
- 2.5 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa
- 1-2 tablespoons Milk For desired consistency
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: brownie mix, flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Whisk until well mixed.
- Add the wet ingredients (eggs, sour cream, fudge packet if using, hot coffee, and melted butter) to the dry mix. Stir until well combined.
- Fill each cupcake liner with about 1/4 cup of the batter.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes. Check if they’re done by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the pan immediately and let them cool on a wire rack.
Serving
- Serve warm or let them cool completely and frost for an extra sweet touch.
- Enjoy plain, or add whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, or sprinkles on top.
Notes
Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature. Don’t overmix the batter for a fudgier texture. Explore adding nuts or chocolate chips for variety.
