Chocolate Cupcake with Raspberry Buttercream and Chocolate Ganache
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the raspberry jam and 1 tablespoon of butter until well combined. Set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the remaining butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and raspberry extract, beating until light and fluffy.
-
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Pour the cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute. Stir until smooth and glossy.
-
Once the cupcakes have cooled, use a small knife or cupcake corer to remove a small portion from the center of each cupcake. Fill the holes with the raspberry jam mixture.
-
Pipe or spread the raspberry buttercream onto the cupcakes, covering the filled holes.
-
Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the buttercream.
-
Allow the ganache to set for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
