Chocolate Ganache Cupcakes

A couple of days back I found myself craving chocolate (again...!!!). But I had been good the past couple of weeks ( I'm trying to diet ha ha ha ha) and not given in to any dessert cravings...except malpuas....but I guess that's ok right? One is supposed to eat malpuas during Ramzaan. And I also wanted an excuse to use these-




 So I made me some super chocolatey cupcakes with a ganache frosting. And since that was not enough I also piped some ganache into the centre of the cupcake. And finally topped them with my fav new sprinkles.




I used a recipe from Cupcake Bakeshop. I've tried this recipe a few times before and each time it turns out like a dream. Pls try it if you haven't already :)





Recipe from Cupcake Bakeshop by Chockylit

Devil’s Food Chocolate Cake
makes 24 cupcakes / 350 degree oven
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1-1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
1. Measure out everything but the eggs directly into your mixer bowl.
2. Mix on low speed just until incorporated.
3. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes.
4. Add eggs, beat on high speed again for 2 minutes.
Measure out into cupcake pan lined with cupcake papers. A 2″ ice cream scoop works great for this. Bake for about 15-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool slightly in the pan then transfer to a rack to cool completely before frosting.

The ganache recipe can be found here.
