How to make Tastycake Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe

Ingredients:
3 eggs
1/2 c oil
1 1/3 c water
1 chocolate icing
5 1/3 T butter,Softened
1/2 c semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 t vanilla extract
1 T milk
2 1/4 c powdered sugar
1 buttercream filling
5 1/3 T butter,Softened
1 1/2 t vanilla extract
2 1/2 T milk
1/8 t salt
3 c powdered sugar
1 filling
1/2 c shortening
1/2 t vanilla extract
1 pn salt
1 c powdered sugar
1 duncan hines devils food
1 cake mix

Method:
Preheat the oven to 350.

Make the cupcakes according to the directions on the box. While the cupcakes bake, make the chocolate and/or butter cream icings.

Chocolate Icing In a mixing bowl, combine the butter with the chocolate chips melted in a microwave set on high for 30 to 45 seconds. Blend in the vanilla, milk and powdered sugar and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Butter cream Icing Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth. If you're making the filled cupcakes, combine the ingredients for the filling in another mixing bowl and beat until fluffy. When the cupcakes are cool, complete each by following these directions.

CHOCOLATE-ICED:
First spread a layer of chocolate frosting on each cupcake. Then, using a pastry bag with a small, round tip, draw a single straight line of buttercream icing down the middle of the chocolate icing.

BUTTERCREAM-ICED:
First spread a layer of buttercream icing evenly over the top of each cupcake. Then, using a pastry bag with a small round tip, draw a straight line of chocolate icing down the middle of the buttercream icing.

CREME-FILLED:
If you want the cupcakes filled you need to do it before you frost them. Use a toothpick or skewer to make a hole in the top of the unfrosted cupcake. Stick the toothpick into the middle of the cupcake and then swirl it around to carve out a cavity in the middle of the cake. This is where the filling will go. Use a pastry bag to inject about 1 tsp of filling into each cupcake, to fill the hole. When you ice your cupcakes, the icing will neatly hide the hole you made.

Taco Take Out Filling

How to make Taco Take Out Filling Recipe

Ingredients:
2 lb chuck,Ground
1 c onion, chop
1 green pepper, chop
1 t mustard seeds
3 T beef bouillon powder or 1 t chili powder
1/8 t tabasco
1 t cumin powder
1 1/2 c bottled chili sauce
1/3 c sweetpickle relish
1 sm can tomato paste
6 oz water tomato paste can
3 T dark molasses
10 1/2 oz beef broth
1 hot fried taco shells
1 lettuce, shred
1 monterey jack cheese-grate

Method:
Pack beef into ungreased 10" skillet on medium heat. Cover and let simmer, reducing to low heat after 5 minutes. You don't really want to overbrown the beef, but to allow some moisture to combine with the natural fat in the chuck to create a broth while it simmer.

Depending on the percentage of fat content in the beef, I'd let it steam like this for about 12-15 minutes. Turn off heat. Drain liquid from beef into blender with HALF of the beef. With on/off speed blend this mixture until it resembles a brick-layer's mortar.

To the mixture of pulvarized beef and the remaining half which you did not put into the blender, add onion, green pepper, mustard seed, bouillon powder and chili powder.

Stir in hotpepper sauce, cumin powder, chili sauce, sweet pickle relish, tomato paste, water, molasses and beef broth. (If you like a thinner sauce, add more beef broth).

Simmer this uncovered, stirring frequently to prevent scorching or use your slow cooker on "high" for about 2 hours. On top of the range, simmer 1 hour, adding additional liquid as necessary tokeep sauce consistency.

Spoon it into the fried taco shells. Top it off with lettuce, grated cheese and Taco 5 Alarm Sauce.

Heat oil or Crisco shortening in a frying pan over medium-high heat. If oil begins to smoke, it is too hot. When oil is hot, fry each tortilla for about 30- 45 seconds per side and set aside on paper towels. When frying each tortilla, be sure to pop any bubbles that form so that tortilla lays flat in oil. Tortillas should become golden brown.

When meat and tortillas are done, stack each pizza by first spreading about 1/3 cup refried beans on the face of one tortilla. Next spread 1/4 to 1/3 cup of meat, then another tortilla.
