I was able to try out a couple of the new Duncan Hines Decadent Cake Mixes.
The two recipes I made with the mixes were so easy, and delicious! I’m certain my family gained 5 pounds this week from all these desserts! What makes the recipes using these mixes so superb is the fillings inside. If tastebuds could smile, they’d be beaming after indulging in these sweet treats.
Triple Chocolate Decadent Cupcakes
- 1 box Duncan Hines® Triple Chocolate Decadent Cake Mix
- 1 container Duncan Hines® Chocolate Amazing Glazes
1. Preheat Oven to 350° F. Place 14-16 liners in muffin cups. (Tip: Spray top of pan with cooking spray for cupcakes to release from pan easier.)
2. Mix batter according to directions.
Spoon batter into muffin tin, about 2/3rds of the way full. You will have enough batter for 14-16 cupcakes.
3. Mix chocolate pouch as directed on box.
Spoon a heaping teaspoon of chocolate on top of the batter. Do not mix into batter. Allow the chocolate to sit on the surface of the cupcake.
4. Bake for 21-24 mins. Cupcakes will be golden brown and spring back when touched in center. Allow to cool completely before glazing or frosting.
5. Top with Duncan Hines Chocolate Amazing Glazes:
Follow instructions on package to remove paper tab under cap, open cap, microwave and pour. For easy clean up, put cupcakes on a rack, which is sitting on top of a piece of foil, wax paper or parchment paper — then pour the glaze over the cupcakes.
