Cupcake Batter
- 1-½ cups all purpose flour, sifted
- 1-½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 2 ounce chocolate bar, melted
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ⅓ cup canola oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup brewed coffee
Ganache Filling
- 4 ounce chocolate bar
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Frosting
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- `½ cup cocoa powder
- 5 cups confectioners sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup heavy cream
Cupcake Batter
Preheat oven to 350℉.
In a bowl, mix all dry ingredients together.
In a separate bowl or stand mixer, whisk together butter, sugar, and eggs. Then, add remaining wet ingredients to mixer and mix together.
Finally, slowly add dry ingredients to mixer, one-third at a time, and mix just until all ingredients are combined.
Line a cupcake pan with liners and fill each about halfway with batter.
Bake for 20-22 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Place finished cupcakes on a cooling rack and let cool.
Ganache Filling
In a microwave-safe bowl, break up 4 oz chocolate bar into small pieces and ¼ c heavy cream. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring between each one, until chocolate is melted and stirring together with the cream produces a thick creamy chocolate sauce.
Once cupcakes are cool, using the tip of a sharp knife, cut out part of the top-center of the cupcake and spoon the ganache filling into this space.
