I'm not really sure how this box of Tastefully Simple pound cake mix came into our house. I've had it in my room since uhh... last November?? Last Tuesday I was anticipating my Daring Bakers challenge, so I was trying to throw something together quickly for "wing night." I went to my room, closed my eyes, and reached into my box of goodies. Pound cake mix is what I pulled out. I added some melted semi-sweet chocolate chips to about 1 cup of the batter. And of course I made little pound cake cupcakes out of it! They smelled soooo good, almost like a Tootsie Roll. I topped them with a light dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of chocolate ganache. They were sooooo delicious! According to their website, the mix costs $5.99. If I see this in any store, I'd probably pay that much for it.
Plain and chocolate pound cake batter
Add a spoonful of chocolate batter ontop of plain cupcake batter.
I tried to marble it with a toothpick, but it didn't work.
So I ended up with blacktops... :)
Yum!!!

What a clever idea w/ the chocolate! They look scrumptious!
Yum Yum YUM!!! These look delicious!
I pooh-poohed the Tastefully Simple line when my nephew's wife brought some to our house (not to her, of course), but you're the second person who has mentioned them this week. These look delish! BTW, added your site to my list of favorite blogs.
Very pretty! Kinda like upside down black-bottomed cakes :) I'm not very good with the swirling either.
