COCOA-MINT CUPCAKES

2 eggs

1/4 cup oil

1 cup sugar

1/4 tsp peppermint extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

Whisk the first 4 ingredients together and gradually fold in rest of the ingredients.

Divide batter equally among 12 paper lined baking cups and bake at 375-degrees for 25-minutes. Remove from oven and cool on wire racks.

For frosting, beat 1 container (16-oz) milk chocolate frosting with 1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract on medium speed until fluffy. Frost cupcakes by using a star tip to make a pretty top. Sprinkle with some crushed peppermints.

Yield: 12 cupcakes
