Chocolate Sour Cream Cupcakes with Whipped Ganache
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan 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 granulated 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 sour cream. 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 pan for 5 minutes. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 1 minute, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
-
Let the ganache cool for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a mixing bowl. Beat the ganache with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
-
Pipe or spread the whipped ganache onto the cooled cupcakes. Garnish with sprinkles, if desired.
-
Allow the ganache to set for about 30 minutes before serving.
