Chocolate Blender Cupcakes and Cream Soda Frosting




These cupcakes are very moist and tasty. Preparing the batter in the blender saves time and makes clean up easy. When finished, add hot water, turn on and let the blender clean itself. Pour the batter directly into the cups from the blender pitcher. Super quick and easy. Frosting can be thick and spreadable or a thin glaze, depending on your preference.

1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1/4 cup cooking oil
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
2/3 cup cocoa
1 2/3 cups sugar
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place all ingredients in blender pitcher in order. Blend on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides if needed.
Pour into cupcake pan lined with papers. Fill just below tops.

While cupcakes are baking mix frosting. Cool on a rack before frosting.

Frosting

1 1/2-2 cups powdered sugar
