Devil’s food cupcakes

Devils Food Cupcakes with a Patriotic Twist!Hello! I’m very happy to be back here at Debbiedoo’s with another dessert recipe. This time I brought the most incredible Devils Food Cupcakes you have ever tasted!

Moist and chocolatey with buttercream frosting. Oh. My. Gosh.

I put a patriotic twist on these since Independence Day is almost here. I made the star cupcake toppers from burlap and scrapbook paper.

Here’s what I did:

Cut out whatever size star you want from this star template. For the paper version simply trace the star on the back of your paper and cut out. Using a hole punch, punch 2 holes and insert a stick through the star. I added a little twine bow too.

This recipe is from my old, battered Betty Crocker cookbook that I received when I got married. I use it for tried-and-true, good old basic recipes. This Devils Food cake is simple and straight-forward with an incredible result.

    YUMMY! *and* AH-dorable. We have to supply snacks after worship @ church the weekend following Independence Day, and these might be a good idea. I want to do something fun and festive!

    These look great! The stars I could make, but somehow, I doubt my frosting would come out as pretty as yours!
