1          teaspoon ground cinnamon
(16.3 oz) cans Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Homestyle refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

    Chocolate Whoopie Cakes



    Well, here's my take on Chocolate Cake . I took out my old handy dandy recipe box found a recipe for Chocolate Whoopie  Cupcakes



     ~Recipe~

    2 c. Flour
    1 1/4 tsp. Baking Soda
    1 tsp. Salt
    1/4 tsp. Baking Powder
    1 c. Hot Water
    2/3 c. Cocoa Powder
    3/4 c. Shortening(Crisco)
    1 1/2 c. Sugar
    2 Eggs
    1 tsp. Vanilla

    ~Peanut Butter Frosting~

    2 1/2 c. Powdered Sugar
    1/3 c. Butter
    1/3 c. Peanut Butter
    1 tsp. Vanilla
    3 Tbsp. Milk
    Dash or Pinch of Ground Clove


    • Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. 

    • In medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder; set aside. In small bowl, mix hot water and cocoa until dissolved; set aside.

    • In large bowl, beat shortening with electric mixer on medium speed 30 seconds. Gradually add sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping bowl occasionally. Beat 2 minutes longer. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. On low speed, alternately add flour mixture, about one-third at a time, and cocoa mixture, about half at a time, beating just until blended.

    • Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each with about 3 tablespoons batter or until about two-thirds full.

    • Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pans; place on cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

      In small bowl, add powered sugar,butter,peanut butter,vanilla,milk and pinch/dash of clove.Mix frosting together. Add frosting to your pastry bag for easy way of frosting. Cut cupcakes crosswise into halves. Add frosting filling on each cupcake bottom; replace cupcake tops.
