Description

Rich and moist chocolate cupcakes filled with fluffy vanilla cream and topped with smooth chocolate ganache and a classic white swirl for the ultimate nostalgic treat.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth and fully combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared liners, filling each about two thirds full.
  6. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely.
  7. Beat softened butter with powdered sugar until light and fluffy to create the filling.
  8. Cut a small hole in the center of each cooled cupcake and pipe in the cream filling.
  9. Heat heavy cream until warm, then pour over chocolate chips. Let sit for 1 minute and stir until smooth to form ganache.
  10. Spoon ganache over each cupcake and allow it to set slightly.
  11. Pipe a small white swirl on top using extra filling.

Notes

  • Ensure cupcakes are completely cooled before filling to prevent melting.
  • Let ganache cool slightly before topping for a glossy finish.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Add 1 teaspoon espresso powder to the batter for deeper chocolate flavor if desired.
