If these delicious Boston Cream Cupcakes are so good, why eat pie They are easy to hold and have the rich flavors of chocolate, vanilla, and creamy custard all in one treat.
Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup buttermilk. 1/4 cup vegetable oil. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 cup hot water. 1/2 cup heavy cream. 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. 1 teaspoon corn syrup. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Powdered sugar for dusting.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined. Stir in hot water until the batter is smooth. It will be thin, but that's okay. Pour the batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat. Add chocolate chips, unsalted butter, corn syrup, and vanilla extract to the hot cream. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy. Let the chocolate ganache cool slightly before using. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, use a piping bag or a spoon to fill each cupcake with the chocolate ganache. Dust the tops of the cupcakes with powdered sugar for a finishing touch. Enjoy your homemade Boston Cream Cupcakes!
