Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 box Great Value® Deluxe Moist Devil's Food Chocolate Cake Mix
1 cup water
⅓ cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
¾ cup cocoa powder
1 cup boiling water
2 cups Great Value® All-Purpose Flour
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar

1 cup vegetable oil
½ cup milk
1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons Great Value® Rainbow Sprinkles
2 cups chocolate frosting
chocolate sauce, for drizzling
maraschino cherry, for topping

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 12-cup cupcake tins with paper liners.
OPTION 1: If using prepared mix, in a medium bowl, whisk together the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs.
OPTION 2: If making the cupcake batter from scratch, in a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and boiling water until the cocoa powder is completely dissolved. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, cocoa mixture, baking soda, salt and vanilla extract.
Fill the cupcake cups halfway with batter.
Bake for 18-21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely before decorating.
Using a large piping tip, poke a hole in the center of each cupcake. Discard the scraps or save for another use.Fill each hole with the sprinkles.
Top each cupcake with chocolate frosting, a drizzle of chocolate, and a maraschino cherry.
Enjoy!
