How to Make Mexican Hot Chocolate Cup Cakes With Cocoa Whipped Cream

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and Mexican hot chocolate mix.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the cocoa whipped cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  9. Add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder; beat until stiff peaks form.
  10. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously with the cocoa whipped cream.
  11. Garnish with extra cinnamon or chili powder, if desired.
