Surprise Cupcakes Recipe

My mom has been making surprise cupcakes for as long as I can remember!  It was one of our favorite Monday Family Night treats!  Give this delightful recipe a try… I’m sure you’ll love it!

It’s an easy recipe to throw together.  Use your own scratch chocolate cake recipe, or use cake mix from a box (here’s a great way to make a better cake from a box).

My sister also loves to do this with her cakes.  It adds a little omph to a regular chocolate cake!
