Fudge Filled Vanilla Cupcakes
Description
These cupcakes begin with a classic vanilla batter made by creaming butter and sugar until fluffy, then incorporating eggs and vanilla extract. Flour, baking powder, and salt are combined with milk and folded into the mixture to maintain lightness. Half of the batter is placed in liners, followed by a frozen chocolate truffle, and topped with the remaining batter, sealing the truffle inside during baking.
Baking at 350°F for about 15-18 minutes creates cupcakes with a delicate crumb that contrasts with the rich, molten fudge built around the truffle center. After cooling, a buttercream frosting made from butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, a pinch of salt, and milk is whipped until fluffy and spread generously on top.
The combination of smooth vanilla and indulgent chocolate filling makes these cupcakes suitable for celebrations or special treats. The fudgy core adds texture and richness without overwhelming the classic cupcake sweetness.
