Materials

For the cupcakes:

  • 1 box white cake mix, (like Pillsbury Moist Supreme)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/4 cup water
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/2 tsp. almond extract
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Hershey's cocoa
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, semi-sweet

For the frosting:

  • 1 container chocolate frosting
  • 1 container vanilla frosting

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Fill 2 cupcake pans with liners.

For the cupcakes:

  • In a large bowl, mix white cake mix with oil, water, and egg whites per box directions. Add the extracts and mix thoroughly.
  • Pour half the batter into a second bowl. To one bowl, mix in the cocoa and chips.
  • Spoon the chocolate batter in the liners first, then spoon the vanilla on top of the chocolate.
  • Bake per directions on box.

For the frosting:

  • Spread some vanilla frosting about 6" long on clear wrap. Spread an equal amount of chocolate frosting on top of the vanilla. Seal the top to the bottom (forming a tube) and twist one end tightly. Insert the open end into a piping bag with the tip already inside. Squeeze from the top over each cupcake. Enjoy!
