Truffle-Imitator Cupcakes
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate 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 wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the truffle icing. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar and truffle oil until smooth.
-
Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, drizzle the truffle icing over the top. Enjoy!
