German Chocolate Cupcakes

This recipe may sound like hard work, but I promise, you won't break a sweat!
I originally made this as a birthday cake for my father, but we can just as easily turn this into a decadent cupcake recipe to add to the list!

What you will need:

• German Chocolate Cake Mix, (Super Moist Duncan Hines, recommended) & ingredients in accordance to the box mix
• Bag of White Chocolate Chips (the bigger the bag, the better!)
• German Chocolate Cake Icing/ Chocolate Coconut Frosting (again, we used Duncan Hines)
• Coconut flakes (3/4 cup) for decoration

Let's get started!
Preheat oven according to cake mix, (375). Then line your muffin pans with paper/foil cupcake liners.
Follow directions on box to make batter. After German Chocolate Batter is made, combine about 1/2 of the bag of White Chocolate Chips into batter, mix well. (Save some for garnish/filling)
Scoop the new batter into paper liners and bake for appropriate time on box.
In the meantime, take a handful of remaining chips and set aside. Take the leftover chips in the bag and place into a microwavable bowl. In intervals of 30seconds, place in microwave until chips are melted; stirring after each 30 seconds.

After cupcakes are baked and cooled, with a knife, cut a small circle in your cupcakes and scoop it out (no bigger than a quarter). Cut that piece of cupcake in half, horizontally (so you have 2 small circles of cake). Drizzle in a spoonful of the melted white chocolate. Take the piece of cutout cake and place it gently back over the hole in your cupcake. Repeat with ALL cupcakes.

When finished filling, frost each cupcake with that delicious coconut icing. Garnish with the leftover white chocolate chips and/or shredded flakes of coconut.


The ingredients are minimal, but the taste is outrageous! Get creative according to your taste buds! Instead of white chocolate chips, like I chose, try peanut butter chips, milk/dark chocolate chips, chocolate with coconut...the list goes on!

Ps- Happy Birthday Dad! :) <3


Serve, Eat & Enjoy! :)
