Quick and Easy Summer Chocolate Malbec Spice Cupcakes

These cupcakes are the perfect combination of chocolate and wine, two of my favorite things.  These cupcakes are very moist and are delicious with or without frosting.  Bonus!  This means less work for you, enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 package Chocolate Cake Mix (any type including German Chocolate)
3/4 cup red wine (Malbec adds some spice, but any red wine will work)
1 stick butter
5.25 ounces (about 3/4 cup) Chocolate (milk, dark or semi-sweet to your preference)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
3 eggs beaten
1 tsp. vanilla

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In small saucepan melt chocolate and butter together over medium heat until both are just melted.

Pour cake mix until medium mixing bowl, add melted chocolate mixture, wine, cinnamon, ginger, eggs and vanilla.  Stir until combined.

Pour until prepared cupcake cups.  I use cupcake liners.  Bake for 12-16 minutes or until cooked through.  Serve warm or let cool. If topping with desired frosting, make sure the cupcakes are cool first.  Makes 24 cupcakes.
