Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 1/2 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 2 large eggs. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 cup whole milk. For the filling:. 1/2 cup heavy cream. 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips. 1 tsp vanilla extract. For the glaze:. 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips. 1/4 cup heavy cream. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Powdered sugar for dusting. Yellow sprinkles optional.

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. For the filling, heat the heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl until hot but not boiling. Add the semisweet chocolate chips and vanilla extract, stirring until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Let it cool to room temperature. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, use a small knife to hollow out a small portion from the center of each cupcake. Fill each cavity with the chocolate filling. For the glaze, heat the heavy cream until hot but not boiling. Pour it over the semisweet chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and glossy. Dip the top of each cupcake into the chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them on a wire rack to set. Optional: Decorate with yellow sprinkles and a dusting of powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy your delicious Boston Creme Cupcakes!
