Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted (for swirl)
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream (for filling)
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate, chopped (for filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat together the eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  4. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners. Drizzle melted semi-sweet chocolate over each one and use a toothpick to create swirls.
  5. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely.
  6. For the filling, heat heavy cream until it just simmers. Pour it over chopped milk chocolate and stir until smooth.
  7. Once cooled, fill each cupcake with your creamy chocolate mixture using a piping bag.
