  • Yield: 36 Servings
20 15 35

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup baking cocoa
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • FILLING:
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 3 tablespoons 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt
  • Chocolate frosting

Directions

  • In a large bowl, beat the sugar, milk, oil, water, eggs and vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into egg mixture until blended.
  • Fill paper-lined muffin cups half full. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, beat the butter, shortening, confectioners' sugar, milk, vanilla and salt until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Insert a very small tip into a pastry or plastic bag; fill with cream filling. Push the tip through the bottom of paper liner to fill each cupcake. Frost cupcakes. Yield: 3 dozen.

I've made these many times and each time I've gotten faster at doing it. I make my own buttercream icing which adds to the time factor but everyone loves them. Sometimes if I have left over filling, I add it to my icing mixture and it all works out just fine:)

The most time I have ever spent making cupcakes! incredibly yummy but yikes! Messy and hard to know how much you filled it. Didn't even last a day, though. 4 stars, but I won't make again.
