Excellent chocolate cake AND chocolate espresso cupcakes

Special shoutout to 9 year old Mia. Thinking about you. My original theme words/music composed and sung buy Jason Shaw www.youtube.com This is actually really three recipes (chocolate cake, chocolate espresso cupcakes and the chocolate espresso frosting) CHOCOLATE CAKE (My Mom’s recipe, origin u/k) This cake stays moist and yummy for days. 1/2 C rolled oats 1 tsp baking soda 1 1/2 cups boiling water 6 tbsp shortening 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa 1 cup flour dash of salt (I don’t show that in the video, I added it to the flour) Mix the oats, baking soda, shortening and boiling water in a bowl, stir and let cool. Add the brown sugar and blend. Blend in eggs, cocoa, baking powder, salt and flour. Mix until well blended. Pour into greased 9×13″ pan or two smaller round cake pans. This will also make approx. 24 cupcakes. Bake large cake at 350F for about 30 minutes until toothpick stuck into the center comes out clean. Cupcakes will take about 15-20 minutes. ESPRESSO CUPCAKES WITH MASCARPONE ESPRESSO FILLING Found this, the frosting and the filling recipes in a Betty Crocker magazine. Make the chocolate cake recipe as indicated above or use a devil’s food chocolate cake mix. To this batter add 1 tablespoon of instant espresso coffee powder and mix. Pour into cupcake tins lined with paper liners and bake for about 20 minutes at 350F until tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool cupcakes completely. Mascarpone

    Yes for the whip cream. Just make sure you clean up the can’s tip after filling.

    Can I put whip cream as the filling? And if I insert the whip cream’s can tip will something happen to the whole can? Like will it mix or expire?

    I made the chocolate cupcake (not the espresso – the husband can’t have that much caffeine with his heart condition) and they came out super bland. Really disappointed. :( Not sure where I went wrong.

    Can I use regular white sugar instead of brown sugar? Will it make a difference?

    What size piping star nozel did you use?

  23. foxxyrin says:

    Yoyomax! I really hope you can help me! I’m looking to make custard, but I can’t find recipes for the kind I’d like. I want one just like the Jello brand packets that you top with nutmeg, which I cannot find in stores anymore. Do you know what kind of custard this is, and if so, do you have any recipes for something similar?

    Can you use cream cheese?
