These scrumptious little goodies are a take on two of my favorite childhood donuts, Chocolate Bavarian Creme and Chocolate Old Fashioned. Mmm...I've lightened them up and put them in cupcake liners for the yummiest, creamiest, chocolate treat.
You won't be able to eat just one!

The Recipe
Cake: Filling:
2 c unbleached flour 1 pckg french vanilla
3/4 c cocoa instant pudding mix
1 t baking powder 1 1/4 c skim milk
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt Frosting:
1 c I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spread basic chocolate frosting
1 3/4 c sugar chocolate sprinkles
2 t vanilla
4 large egg whites
4 large egg whites
1 1/3 c skim milk
Prepare french vanilla instant pudding according to package directions and chill in refrigerator. When set, scoop into a pastry bag fitted with a small circle tip, refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg whites two at a time and mix until combined. Alternately add flour mixture and milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture, while mixing. Scoop into prepared cupcake liners and bake about 20 minutes, or until tops are firm.
As soon as cupcakes come out of the oven, insert tip of decorating bag into the center of each cupcake and fill pudding to the top of hole in each cupcake. Scoop away any pudding above the surface, if needed. Refrigerate cupcakes.
When cupcakes are chilled, frost with basic chocolate frosting and dip in chocolate sprinkles until completely covered.
