Dalmatian Cupcakes

Dalmatian Cupcakes

Yes, these cupcakes look like those famous spotted dogs. The chocolate cake has a hidden creamy filling and chocolate chip “spots.” Kids love them!

Expert Tips

How about a Dalmatian-themed party? Serve cupcakes with chocolate chip ice cream, play “pin the spot on the dog,” and send kids home with a “doggie bag” full of dog-themed treats and prizes.

Wrap individual cupcakes tightly in plastic wrap, and include in lunch boxes for an extra-special lunchtime treat!

If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.
