BETH’S CANDY CANE CUPCAKE RECIPE
makes 12 cupcakes
Ingredients:
¼ cup (35 g) bittersweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup (70 g) unsweetened Cocoa powder
2/3 cup (160 ml) hot water
1 cup (200 g) of sugar
¾ cup (180 ml) vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 tsp (10 ml) peppermint extract
¾ cup (90 g) of flour
½ tsp (2.5 ml) salt
½ tsp (2.5 ml) baking soda
Frosting:
16 oz (460 g) whipped cream cheese
¾ cup (75 g) powdered sugar
1 ½ tsp (7.5 ml) of vanilla extract
2 tbsp (30 ml) milk
Garnish:
2 candy canes, crushed
Method:
Preheat oven to 350F (175 C) degrees.
Place 12 Simply Baked baking cups on a baking sheet.
In a large heat safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and the cocoa powder. Then pour the hot water over the top and whisk to combine.
Add the sugar and oil, whisk to combine. Add the eggs and whisk until smooth. Add the peppermint extract. Set aside.
In a smaller bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda. Add this flour mixture, to the chocolate mixture, in thirds, stirring gently with a wire whisk in a figure 8 pattern, just until combined.
Fill the cupcake wells ¾ of the way full, about 1 good ice cream scoop per cup. Bake 25-30 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting combine cream cheese and powdered sugar in a bowl and with an electric mixer beat until combined. Add milk and vanilla and beat until smooth and creamy.
Transfer frosting to a pastry bag fitted with your favorite tip (I love the Wilton 2D tip) top with a few crushed candy canes. Serve with the Simply Baked spoons.

Hi Beth! I love all of your recipes and videos. I just found out I'm pregnant. Yay! I was wondering if you could do a menu for someone in their first trimester? I love your recipes and I would so greatly appreciate a menu of deliciousness that is good for me and my little one.
These cupcakes are too cute not to make :D I can’t wait for my subscription box to arrive so that I can start baking. Have you heard of Russian piping tips, by the way? The results of decorating cupcakes using them are quite stunning. There are all sorts of different ones, but my favorites are flowers and Christmas designs. Curious as to which ones would be your favorites?
Sugar absorbs moisture from the air so even if you left them in the air the candycanes would have gone sloppy and sticky. Definitely best as a last minute decoration.
The cupcakes are adorable! Definitely have to try this recipe thank you for sharing :)
Wow amazing recipe, now that finals week is over, its time to jump on some holiday baking and catch up on all the Beth videos I missed =D. Thanks for the recipe Beth =]
