Black Cow Cupcakes #SundaySupper

What can you say about Mom?

I was lucky enough to have my Mom around while I was growing up. She was my biggest fan. Like for many Mothers and daughters there were head-butting times, screaming matches and slamming doors.
There were also lots of hugs, long talks and healing cries together.
She taught me how to cook by “feel” and get your hands dirty.
That went for the garden too. She had the greenest thumb I ever saw! 🙂
One flavor my Mom loved was root beer. We always seemed to have root beer barrels or A-Treat root beer soda around.
I like root beer too. Once in a while a root beer float in the heat of summer is more than alright by me!
Skip the vanilla and scoop a big scoop of chocolate into mine. We call that a Black Cow.

Black Cow Cupcakes serve root beer and chocolate in one bite. I added a bit of root beer extract to the icing for an extra kick!

These turned out to be my guy’s new favorite cake. In fact, it sent him on a root beer fantasy where I put root beer in everything! Pie, fudge, ice cream and of course more cakes.

I have to agree that these moist, Black Cow Cupcakes definitely are in the cake making rotation. My Mom would have loved these cupcakes. Maybe these should grace the table every Mother’s Day!
