Sinfully Delicious Devil’s Food Cupcakes Are The Perfect Treat For Any Festive Gathering

Sweetened Greek yogurt creates a tangy frosting that pairs perfectly with these fudgy from-scratch delights that will please everyone this 4th of July or really anytime

Comments

I love a rich fudgy dessert and was so delighted when I took my first bite of these sinfully delicious Devil’s Food Cupcakes. Their tangy Greek yogurt frosting is a surprising and fresh change from heavier cupcake toppings. And though a cake mix makes it easy-on-you, it’s just as simple to make these from-scratch treats. You should have most of the ingredients in your pantry and once you master the basic recipe, you can customize them as desired. I’d add mini chocolate chips for a hearty dose of richness or chopped raspberries for a kiss of fruity sweetness. No Greek yogurt in the fridge? I would opt for billowy dollop of whipped topping or make ’em doubly good with a chocolate frosting.
