Ingredients

Scale

For the cupcakes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp vinegar, let sit 5 minutes)
  • ½ cup hot water or hot coffee (coffee enhances chocolate flavor)

For the fudge filling:

  • 4 oz semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

For the chocolate fudge frosting:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup heavy cream (more if needed)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk oil, eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until combined. Slowly add hot water or coffee, mixing until smooth (batter will be thin).
  4. Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean (some moist crumbs are okay). Cool completely.
  5. Make the fudge filling: In a small saucepan over low heat, warm heavy cream until it simmers. Remove from heat, add chopped chocolate and butter, stirring until smooth and glossy. Let cool slightly to thicken.
  6. Fill cupcakes: Use a small knife or cupcake corer to remove the center from each cupcake. Fill the hole with the fudge filling.
  7. Make the frosting: Beat butter and cocoa powder until combined. Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with heavy cream, beating until fluffy. Mix in vanilla and salt.
  8. Frost cupcakes with the chocolate fudge frosting and decorate with chocolate shavings and white chocolate chips.
  9. Serve and Enjoy 😋💕😊
