Ingredients
Chocolate Cupcakes:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cups granulated sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Ganache:
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or semi-sweet
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon rum flavor
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Chocolate Cupcakes:
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners or a 24 mini muffin pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the dry ingredients, flour, sugar, baking soda, and cocoa powder.
- Add the wet ingredients, milk, oil, vinegar, and vanilla.
- Beat with a whisk or electric hand mixer just until well incorporated.
- Spoon the cupcake batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling the cups about ¾ full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes if you use regular cupcake size and only 15 minutes(check them around the 12-minute mark) for the mini cupcakes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Remove the cupcakes from the pan and place them on a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting or decorating.
Chocolate Ganache:
- Place the chocolate chips in a medium bowl.
- In a small saucepan heat up the heavy cream closer to the boiling point.
- Pour over the chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes without touching it.
- Add the butter.
- Take a spatula and mix the chocolate together with the heavy cream until completely smooth.
- Add the rum flavor.
- Let it cool in the kitchen, then in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
- When ready to use, beat it well with a mixer at low speed until fluffy.
- Decorate the cooled cupcakes.
Notes
- Ganache Thickness: If your ganache is too thick after chilling, let it sit at room temperature for a bit before whipping to achieve a fluffy consistency.
- Decorating: For a neat presentation, use a piping bag and tip to apply the ganache to the cupcakes. For an extra touch, add sprinkles, edible glitter, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
- Storage: Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.
