Equipment

  • Oven
  • 24-count cupcake tin
  • cupcake liners
  • Measuring cups & spoons 
  • pastry bag
  • Large star tip
  • paring knife

Ingredients

Base Cupcake Recipe

  • 15.25 ounces French Vanilla Cake Mix
  • 3.4 ounces vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream

Cannoli Filling

  • 2.5 pounds Golden Cannoli Filling
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup crushed walnuts
  • ½ cup sliced strawberries
  • ¼ cup maraschino cherries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a 24-count cupcake pan with liners.
  • Add the cake mix, pudding pouch, eggs, oil, extract, sour cream, and water to a mixing bowl and whisk until mostly lump-free. There might be a few stray lumps and that is okay.
  • Pour batter into cupcake liners (24) and bake at 350 degrees F. for 16-18 minutes. Cupcakes will be springy, slightly golden-brown and a toothpick inserted into the center will come out clean.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool before using a paring knife to carefully cut a 1″ cone out of the center. This is only if you want a stuffed cupcake. If you prefer simply a topped cupcake leave them as-is. Decorate as desired.
  • Using a paring knife, carefully cut out a small 1" cone in the center of the cupcake. You want to go above ¾ of the way down into the cupcake.
  • Fill each cupcake with cannoli filling and bring design to a swirl. Top with your choice of nuts, strawberries, chocolate chips, etc.
  • These can be eaten plain, topped with filling, or frozen for later consumption. Refrigerate cannoli cupcakes for up to 3 days for best taste.
