Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup vanilla pastry cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, until well combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes.
  7. Cool the cupcakes before filling them with vanilla pastry cream.
  8. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just boiling, then pour it over the chocolate chips in a bowl to make the ganache.
  9. Once cooled, dip the tops of the filled cupcakes in the chocolate ganache.
  10. Let the ganache set before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of almond extract to the batter.
  • These cupcakes can be assembled a few hours in advance, but are best served fresh.
