Equipment
- 1 Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix 18 oz.
- 1/3 c butter melted
- 3 eggs
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp baking powder
Chocolate Brownie Frosting
- 3/4 c butter softened
- 2.5 c powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 c cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a cupcake tin with paper liners and set it aside. Spray gently with non stick spray so they don't stick.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the brownie mix, melted butter, eggs, milk and baking powder until well combined.
- Use a 2 Tbsp cookie scoop and fill each liner about 3/4 full, should be one scoop per liner. Place the tray in the oven and bake for 20-23 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out cleanly. Remove and let the cupcakes cool completely.
- To make the frosting, place the butter in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes, until the butter lightens in color. Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla and cocoa powder and continue to beat until the frosting is smooth and creamy. Place into a piping bag with frosting tip of choice (#1B shown) and pipe frosting on the top of the cooled cupcakes.
Notes
Brownie Mix Cupcake Tips
- Always wait until baked goods are completely cooled before frosting.
- You can use a pint size freezer bag instead of piping bag + tip. Just fill, zip closed and snip the corner off to squeeze out.
- You could use a tub of store bought chocolate frosting instead this same way to decorate.
