Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Graham cracker crumbs (optional, for sprinkling)
  • Chocolate drizzle (optional, for extra flair)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat together the sugars, oil, egg, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  6. Heat the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly before transferring to a piping bag.
  7. Use a small knife or cupcake corer to remove the center of each cupcake. Fill the hole with the chocolate ganache and replace the top piece.
  8. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar. Place over a pot of simmering water and whisk constantly until the sugar dissolves.
  9. Remove from heat and beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Stir in the vanilla.
  10. Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes in a swirl. Use a kitchen torch to toast the frosting until golden brown. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs if desired.

Notes

[‘Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent dense cupcakes.’, ‘Use room temperature eggs and milk for a smoother batter.’, ‘Let the ganache cool slightly before filling to avoid leakage.’, ‘If you don’t have a kitchen torch, use your oven’s broiler to toast the frosting.’]
