Notes about this recipe

  • ashallen on October 05, 2021

    Excellent cupcakes!! Super chocolatey - the ganache center takes it over the top and was a nice, bittersweet counterpoint to the sweeter frosting on top. Moist and tender without falling to bits. Between the frosting on top and the ganache center, these are more pastry-like (in a wonderful way) than typical cake-with-frosting. I pulled some frosting from my freezer rather than making the recipe that accompanies the cupcake recipe (which looks very good). There are a few steps more than usual to make this recipe, but they're not difficult. No mixer required. Recipe says to bake until set and "just firm" to touch - the area above the ganache filling was still very soft when these were done baking, but the cake surrounding that area had firmed up.
