Turn A White Cake Mix into Chocolate

September 30, 2012 Cakes/Cupcakes/Muffins, Desserts, Tutorials

I wanted to make chocolate cupcakes the other day but I didn’t have a chocolate cake mix. Yes, I know that I could have made them from scratch but I was in a hurry. I spent several minutes searching Google for a recipe but could not find what I was looking for (and I wasted a lot of time and yes, it would probably have been quicker to have just made them from scratch) but what can I say, I’m a lazy baker. I only found one recipe and it contained about eight ingredients.

After trial and error, I have found the perfect in-a-hurry chocolate cupcake recipe. It works great every time and it taste like homemade !

So if you get ready to make chocolate cupcakes and you reach in your pantry and all you have it a white cake mix, here is what you can do…..

How to turn white cake mix into a chocolate cake mix:

Make cake as instructed on box (use whole eggs)

Add these ingredients before mixing

1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup sour cream

Mix and bake according to directions on box

I use this half chocolate, half vanilla recipe when I am make cupcakes for events like my grandson’s third birthday party. It was paw patrol themed and you can check out the party HERE if interested.
