And now, a post about the chocolate cupcakes I took to our niece's graduation party.
♥
There was a cake that my mom used to make when we were kids. It was a no-frosting cake, super moist and chocolatey and we loved that cake! The recipe is one that I wanted to get my hands on, and having gone through Mom's recipes after she left, it was one that wasn't in the mix.
I searched online and found some similar versions, but nothing that sounded just like Mom used to make. When I finally mentioned it to my sister she said, "Oh, I know how to make that!" Awesome!
Chocolate Pudding Cake
{aka No-Frosting Cake}
1 3.5 oz box of chocolate Jell-o pudding and pie filling {the kind you cook, not instant}
2 cups milk
1 chocolate cake mix
1 to 2 cup chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts {I used pecans because that's what I had on hand}
1 - In a large saucepan, cook chocolate pudding as directed on box. Stir in chocolate cake mix until smooth
2 - Spread in a 9x13" pan that has been greased and floured
3 - Sprinkle chocolate chips and nuts on top
4 - Bake at 350° for 20- 30 minutes (cupcakes for 12-14 minutes) until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean
Yum, yum, YUM!
{man, I miss my mom}
