Spiced Zucchini Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

by

Do you like spice cake but not pumpkin?  Zucchini makes a wonderful moist cupcake without all the pumpkin hype.  Cooking Classy adds great spices like cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves.  The Cream Cheese buttercream is a wonderful topping – not too sweet and a perfect complement to the spices in the cake.  Yum!

Oreo Crumb Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

by

Today just seemed like an Oreo cookie kind of day.  For some reason, Oreos just cheer me up and these cupcakes from Julie’s Cafe Bakery will put a smile on any Oreo lover’s face!  You can crush some Oreos to put in the cake (see notes below) which is then topped with a delicious and decadent […]

Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with White Chocolate Frosting

by

I (almost) always say you can’t go wrong with a basic chocolate or vanilla cupcake.  But WOW, Natasha’s Kitchen took a basic chocolate cupcake and made it into something truly spectacular!  A rich, dark and oh so chocolately cupcake topped with a whipped cream white chocolate cream cheese frosting.  Yes, all those things IN THE FROSTING!

Buttermilk Chocolate Cupcakes

by

As much as fancy cupcakes can be pretty to look at and a badge of honor to bring to a holiday gathering, sometimes the tried and true recipes just taste so much better.  Like chocolate cupcakes made with buttermilk for a truly rich and delicious cake.  Taste of Home notes this recipe has been around for […]

Pineapple Mojito Cupcakes

by

Mmmm….pineapple, lime and mint!  These cupcakes from Kelly Stillwell taste just like a pineapple mojito without the alcohol.  I suspect there is a way to sneak in some white rum or, ahem, other alcohol if you so prefer.  Try it and let us know.  Or maybe some coconut in the frosting? Ah, the possibilities! Now go […]

Cookie Butter Cupcakes

by

If you’re like me, anything with “butter” or “cookie” in the name is automatically good. It’s no surprise that “cookie butter” is amazingly addictive, like a cookie flavored Nutella.  Tutti Dolce‘s recipe includes a surprise cookie butter filling in the cupcake AND cookie butter in the frosting.  Total yum. Cookie Butter Cupcakes Makes about 24 […]

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cupcakes

by

If you like a moist and dense chocolate cupcake, look for recipes using coffee.  In other words, don’t look further than this recipe from Shugary Sweets which also uses buttermilk and dark chocolate cocoa powder.  Oh yes, this is to die for!  And that is before I mention the cream cheese frosting with mini chocolate chips. […]

Triple Cinnamon Cupcakes

by

As much as I love cupcakes, I rarely buy one from a store.  Not exactly sure why – maybe it’s the exorbitant price or maybe it’s because I think mine taste better.  That is mostly true.  That being said, these cupcakes from American Heritage Cooking  is a copycat Sprinkles Cupcakes flavor.  So if you love Sprinkles […]

Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcakes

With….whipped ganache frosting!  Yes, I made you look for the best part!  Mom on Timeout might just win the award for this week’s (or maybe this month’s!) yummiest cupcake.  Lots of good stuff here – chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese filling topped with whipped chocolate ganache.  Nothing more needs to be said. Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcakes Makes […]

Chocolate Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Buttercream

by

Chef in Training says these are the PERFECT chocolate cupcakes.  I suppose that could be true, but it could be a matter of taste or personal opinion.  I’ll let you decide about perfection but pretty much any chocolate cupcakes made from scratch will be darn near perfect.  In my humble Cupcake Lady opinion. The frosting, though, […]
