Chocolate Pudding Filled Cupcakes

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

Line a cupcake pan with 10 paper liners.

Step 3

Add the dry ingredients to a stand mixer and mix with a paddle attachment (or use an electric mixer), then add the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla while mixing on low.

Step 4

Add the boiling water and mix well.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the cupcake liners until they are ¾ full.

Step 6

Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle.

Step 7

Let the cupcakes cool completely, then use a paring knife to cut out circles on top of each cupcake. Remove the extra cake from the cutout circle, fill the holes with pudding and top with the cutout circle by placing back on top over the filling.

Step 8

Frost the cupcakes as usual.
