Ingredients
Chocolate Ganache Filling
Cream Cheese Frosting
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the cupcake tins with paper liners. Mix the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl add the eggs, milk and oil. Add the bowl containing the liquid ingredients to the bowl holding the dry ingredients. Mix all together until well blended. Beat with an electric mixer for 3 minutes on medium speed. Slowly add in the boiling water starting with a small amount, then pour in the remaining boiling water. The batter may seem to be a little runny. Scoop batter into cupcake lined cups until 3/4 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
Chocolate Ganache Filling
  1. Add the heavy whipping cream to the top of a double boiler. Bring to boil. Pour over chocolate chips. Stir until combined and until it starts to look like chocolate sauce. Let it cool completely. Scoop out the center of the cupcake and scoop some ganache into the cupcake.
Cream Cheese Frosting
  1. Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix until combined and stiff peaks form. If the powdered sugar forms pebbles, add 1-2 TBSP more of heavy cream If the frosting is too thin add 1/2 cup more of icing sugar Mix until the the frosting becomes stiff and doesn’t fall off a spoon.
Tips for Frosting Cupcakes
  1. Spoon the frosting into a piping bag with a star tip and frost the cupcakes starting at the base in a circular motion. Drizzle the chocolate fudge on top of the frosting.
