Instructions

Homemade Hostess Cupcakes

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix all dry ingredients together.
  • Add egg, milk, oil, and vanilla and beat well.
  • Pour in boiling water, and stir the batter until combined. Grease or line a cupcake pan. Using a ¼ measuring cup, pour batter into the pan. Bake for 20-22 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • While cupcakes cool, prepare the Whipped Cream Filling.

Whipped Cream Filling

  • Pour the heavy whipping cream into the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on medium until stiff peaks form.
  • Whisk in vanilla and powdered sugar and mix thoroughly.
  • Once cupcakes have cooled, filled each cupcake with Whipped Cream Filling using a piping bag and round tip. Push the tip into the cupcake, and squeeze to fill as you pull the tip out of the cupcake.
  • Once filled, set cupcakes in freezer to set while preparing the Chocolate Glaze.

Chocolate Glaze

  • Whisk together all ingredients until smooth.
  • Dip each cupcake in Chocolate Glaze, swirling the cupcake to remove excess glaze.
  • Allow to set in freezer. Once set, pipe icing loops on top of each cupcake.
