Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Chocolate Ganache
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a cupcake tin with 12 paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until combined.
- In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until just beginning to simmer. Pour over chocolate chips in a bowl and let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once cool, use a piping bag to fill each cupcake with chocolate ganache.
Serving
- Serve the cupcakes immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy. Pair with coffee or milk.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
