Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Chocolate ganache or frosting for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with liners.
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat together the softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the milk and blend well.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full with batter.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely in the tin before removing them.
- Whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Cut a small cone shape out of the center of each cupcake and fill with the whipped cream.
- Replace the tops of the cupcakes and frost or drizzle with chocolate ganache.
Notes
Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier creaming. Don’t skip the cooling step; filling warm cupcakes will make the cream melt!
