Smoky Chocolate Cupcakes with Sweet Corn Cream Cheese Frosting
My cupcakes get jealous at BBQs - all of that BBQ smoke and sweet corn at meal time and none at dessert. That's why I created the All American BBQ cupcake. The cupcake is a chocolate cupcake with a secret ingredient - liquid smoke. The liquid smoke gives the chocolate a fantastic smoky smell and taste. The frosting is a sweet corn cream cheese frosting that has just enough corn to scream summer BBQ, but not too much to say, "Ewww, corn frosting!"

Sweet Corn Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients
1 15ozcan cornIf you are already working the grill and have some fresh corn, that would work. I used white corn so you don't see weird yellow pieces of corn jutting out of the frosting.
