Jen’s Extra Tips: less is more when adding the first round of cake batter. If you get it too full then there is not room for the filling. More filling would make for a more interesting tasting cupcake. Consider making 1 1/2 times the filling recipe for extra flavor. For extra chocolate flavor dip the tops in Velata Milk chocolate and let harder before adding the whipped topping and Oreo.
