Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place cupcake liners in a cupcake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine chocolate cake mix, 3 eggs, melted butter, milk, cinnamon and cayenne. Mix until just combined.
Pour batter into cupcake liners in the cupcake tin. Batter should fill the liner about ⅔-¾ full. This recipe makes 20-24 cupcakes, depending on how full you fill the liners.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until a toothpick is inserted into the center of a cupcake and comes out clean or with crumbs on it. It should not have gooey batter on it.
Remove from the cupcake pan and place on a cooling rack.
Meanwhile, make the cinnamon cream cheese frosting.
Once cupcakes are completely cool, frost with a thick layer of frosting.
Notes
Frost the cupcakes using a knife or a piping bag.
Use pieces of cinnamon sticks, shaved chocolate or an additional sprinkle of cinnamon for decoration.
