Easy Choklat Stout Cupcakes

There are a million stout cupcake recipes on the internet. Why add another? Because all of those recipes assume you have time. Which many of you do not.

This cupcake recipe is a shortcut. It uses cake mix and canned frosting. But don’t you dare poo-poo it. It was recently a mega-hit at a March for Dimes charity bake sale and everyone is consistently shocked when they find out it was made from a mix.

What makes it special? Two simple things. A solid chocolate stout (like Southern Tier’s Choklat) and an extra egg. That’s it. You’ll blow people away with this moist and fluffy cake recipe. Whether or not you admit it’s from a box mix, is up to you.
