Ingredients

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
  • 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
  • cup cocoa powder
  • 5 cups confectioners sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

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.

Frosting

  • Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, whisk all ingredients together. Fill a pastry bag with frosting and decorate cupcakes.
