Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cupcakes:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temp
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • For the Filling:
  • 1 cup vanilla pudding
  • For the Ganache:
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Prep Time!

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Mix it Up:

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).

Add the Good Stuff:

Mix in eggs one at a time. Pour in vanilla extract and combine. Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.

Bake to Perfection:

Divide batter evenly into prepared liners, filling each two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.

Fill ‘Em Up:

Once cupcakes are cool, cut a small circle out of the center of each cupcake and fill with a spoonful of vanilla pudding.

Ganache Goodness:

Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until it simmers. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy.

Finish with Flair:

Drizzle chocolate ganache over each filled cupcake, letting it cascade down the sides. Top with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Serve & Enjoy:

Enjoy the ooey-gooey chocolatey and creamy delight!

Notes

Storage:

Store cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Serving Suggestion:

These cupcakes are perfect for birthday parties, celebrations, or just a delightful weekend treat.

Vanilla Pudding:

You can use store-bought vanilla pudding or homemade for even more flavor.

Chocolate Ganache:

For a thicker ganache, use less heavy cream; for a thinner ganache, use more cream. You can also add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
