Chocolate Cupcakes with Cream Filling

Ingredients

To create these scrumptious chocolate cupcakes, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for filling)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
  • Whipped cream (for topping, optional)

Instructions

Now that you have your ingredients, it’s time to whip up these cupcakes! Follow these simple steps:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Then, stir in boiling water until combined (the batter will be thin).
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. While the cupcakes are cooling, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form, creating your filling.
  6. Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, use a piping bag or a small knife to create a small hole in the center of each cupcake. Fill each hole generously with the whipped cream filling.
  7. If desired, top with additional whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Now all that’s left to do is enjoy these luscious chocolate cupcakes with friends and family! They’re perfect for any occasion, and the creamy filling will keep everyone coming back for more. Happy baking!
