Boston Cream Cupcakes are a picture-perfect dessert with an extra dose of decadence. Moist cupcakes are filled with vanilla cream and topped with milk chocolate frosting in this easy recipe!
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 (3.4 ounce) Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
- 2 cups whole milk
- 4 ounce Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 can (16 ounce) Milk Chocolate frosting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with paper cupcake liners. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the whole milk and apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
- 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.
- Spoon the cake batter into the cupcake liners about ⅔ way up.
- Bake for 18 minutes, or until the tops are slightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
- 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.
- Using a sharp knife, scoop out a dome on the top of each cupcake. Spoon pudding mixture into hole.
- 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.
