This triple chocolate cupcakes recipe is my go-to for parties. The chocolate fudge cake pairs perfectly with the ganache icing. You can add miniature chocolate chips for a burst of chocolate overload, sprinkles, nuts or coconut flakes.

Ingredients

  

• ▢ 2 cups sugar
• ▢ 1 3/4 cups flour
• ▢ 3/4 cup cocoa powder
• ▢ 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• ▢ 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• ▢ 1 tsp salt
• ▢ 2 eggs
• ▢ 1 cup milk
• ▢ 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• ▢ 2 tsp vanilla extract
• ▢ 1 cup boiling water

• ▢ For the ganache
• ▢ 2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate
• ▢ 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and fill cupcake pan with liners.
• In a large bowl stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla and mix for 2 minutes. Slowly stir in boiling water.
• Pour into cupcake pan 2/3 full with batter.
• Bake for 22-24 minutes; cool completely.
• For the ganache:
• Heat heavy whipping cream until boiling.
• Pour heavy cream over a bowl of chocolate and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes.
• Once the chocolate is melted whisk the heavy cream and chocolate together until you get a smooth consistency.
• Dip or spoon ganache onto the cupcakes and top with mini chocolate chips. I like to place my cupcakes in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the ganache to set.
