Ingredients
Cupcakes:
- 1 cup all–purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Ganache:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 8 oz (250g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
CUPCAKES
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-cup pan with cupcake paper liners and set aside. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a hand mixer, beat the eggs with sugar and oil until lightened in color, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract. On low speed, add the flour mixture alternately with the milk until the batter is smooth, about 2 minutes. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Fill each paper cup with batter, about 90% full. Bake the cupcakes for 20–25 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the pan and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Prepare the ganache.
- Use a spatula or piping bag to spread the ganache over the top of the cupcakes. Top with sprinkles, if desired.
