I am ging to be making a cupcake cake and they requested a chocolate cupcake with filling. Which recipe would you use to hold up best when filled?

I have used Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Cake recipe before for filled cupcakes and it held up fine. The recipe makes 36 cupcakes, I believe. It can be found on the back of the can of Hershey's baking cocoa or on Hershey's website. I have also used boxed Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge cake for filled cupcakes and that held up fine, too. HTH

I will have to try that Hershey cake............sounds yummy! Thanks!

Well I used the Hershey's Collector's Cake recipe featured on the home page. It baked up very well, tasted great, however I think it is a bit dry.....just needed a little something else.....anyone know what I could have done to make it moister?

I use the Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Cake the recipe is on the back of the Hershey's cocoa can. I'm not sure if that's the one you're speaking of, but I doubt it since the Perfectly Chocolate Cake is SUPER moist.

Here's a link to the recipe, the frosting that follows is actually pretty awesome too, it's a nice dark chocolate color bc.

Oh, I only get 28 cupcakes out of this recipe.

I use the Hershey's recipe on the back of the cocoa can as well. It's the BEST EVER!

I think I see the difference, the recipe I used calls for butter, not oil.....wondering if I replaced the 3/4C of butter with 1/2C butter and 1/4C oil if that would make the difference. Don't know, but next time will use the more modern version of this recipe.

I am going to try the Hershey recipe for a bake sale next week.....what type of filling should I try? Any suggestions??

Raspberry mousse or cherry mousse sound good to me right now (started diet today)!

BTW, despite the fact I was worried about my cupcakes, apparently everyone loved them! Whew!
