Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• as needed for garnish Sprinkles

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
5. 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.
6. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
8. Let the ganache cool for about 10 minutes, then dip the tops of the cupcakes into the ganache. Allow the ganache to set for a few minutes before garnishing with sprinkles.
9. Enjoy your delicious chocolate ganache cupcakes!
