Creme Filled Cupcakes

That's right........ more treats! I found this recipe in a magazine but I don't remember which one. These look just like the ones you get at the store but they are way better. As you can see from the picture they are Mason approved.

2 c. flour
1 c. cocoa
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. buttermilk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. butter
1 1/2 c. sugar
3 eggs

Cream the butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Combine all of the dry ingredients together. Add about half of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and then add half of the buttermilk. Repeat this with the remaining flour and milk. Pour into muffin tins. It's easier if you use the little muffin papers. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes. Don't overcook! Let cool and then fill with creme filling.

Filling:
4 Tbsp. butter
2c. powdered sugar
2-3 Tbsp. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla. Add milk until it's spreadable but still pretty thick. To fill the cupcakes I just put the filling in one of those cake decorating bags with a regular round tip. Squish the tip down into the middle of the cupcake and squeeze. Spread some glaze over the top and then you're done.

Glaze:
1/2 c. cream
1 Tbsp. light corn syrup
1 c. semi sweet chocolate chips

Heat the cream until it is simmering. Pour over the chocolate chips and add the corn syrup. Stir until smooth.
