Ingredients
- 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.
