Ingredients

For the Cupcakes
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
For the Filling & Frosting
  • 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix 3.4 ounce
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 4 ounce Cool Whip thawed
  • 1 can Milk Chocolate frosting 16 ounce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with paper cupcake liners. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the whole milk and apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Add in the milk mixture with vanilla and oil, mixing just until combined.
  4. Spoon the cake batter into the cupcake liners about 2/3 way up.
  5. Bake for 18 minutes, or until the tops are slightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  6. While the cupcakes cool, combine the pudding mix with milk using a whisk. Once the pudding thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes whisking), fold in Cool Whip. Refrigerate until cupcakes are cool.
  7. Using a sharp knife, scoop out a dome on the top of each cupcake. Spoon pudding mixture into hole.
  8. Frost cupcakes with chocolate frosting and enjoy.

Notes

  • Buttermilk can be substituted in place of the whole milk and vinegar.
  • Swap out the Instant Vanilla Pudding mix for Instant French Vanilla Pudding. Gives a deeper vanilla flavor similar to custard.
  • Store cupcakes in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
