Ingredients
For chocolate cupcakes:
1boxchocolate fudge or devil's food cake mix
3.4oz.box instant chocolate pudding mix
4large eggs
1/2cupwater
3/4cupwhole or 2% milk
1/2cupvegetable or canola oil
1cupBiscoff spread or similar cookie butter spread
For cookie butter frosting:
3/4cupunsalted buttersoftened
1 1/2cups Biscoff spread or similar cookie butter spread
In a large bowl, stir together cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, milk, and oil.
Line 24 regular-sized muffin cups with paper liners.
Fill muffin cups halfway with batter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until tops appear set, and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Using a teaspoon or small spoon (a grapefruit spoon works best!), hollow out a 1-inch ball in the center of each cupcake. Set aside cake crumbs for another use (cake balls, maybe?).
Spoon a rounded teaspoonful of cookie butter into the center of each cupcake. The easiest way to do this is with a small cookie scoop!
For cookie butter frosting:
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and cookie butter until smooth.
Add 4 cups powdered sugar, beating until combined.
Add heavy cream, beating until combined.
Add additional powdered sugar, if needed, to achieve a thick, but fluffy frosting. It should be pipable.
Pipe or spread onto cupcakes. I use a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, Wilton 1M!
If desired, garnish by sticking 1/2 a Biscoff cookie into the frosting of each cupcake, and top with a sprinkling of mini chocolate chips.
