Scumcakes of the Universe

GWAR.
I simply can't type enough about their brutality.
They are SEX-ellent to say the least.
Have you ever wondered where they came from?
The following should answer as many questions as it raises:

THE EPIC TALE OF GWAR
Eons ago, there existed an elite group of chaos warriors who ravaged the galaxy with a boundless hatred of all things alive. They were called the Scumdogs of the Universe, and they grew in might and fury, the greatest weapon in the arsenal of their cosmic Master.

But they became too powerful, and too defiant. As punishment for their cosmic crimes, they were banished to the most insignificant planet in the universe...the seething mudball known as Earth.

Millions of years passed, and they slumbered, until the pollution of your world de-thawed these creatures from their ageless coma...and now they stride the Earth, living gods, dedicated to one goal, the destruction of the human race, and the eradication of existence itself! Wait- that’s two goals!

Hark to the hideous majesty of your MASTERS, rulers of Earth, the MIGHTY GWAR!!!

Consider these cupcakes a tribute to these metal Gods:

Metal Constituents:

• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

For the Chocolate Frosting:

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/4 cup shortening
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cup hot fudge topping
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Merciless Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Into a medium bowl, sift together cocoa, flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each, then beat in vanilla.
5. With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with sour cream and beginning and ending with flour.
6. Stir in green M&Ms
7. Pour batter into cups, filling each 3/4 full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.

11. Add the milk.
12. Add the hot fudge topping and the vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
