How about some bad A cupcakes?!?

Ok, so I tried these last night, as good as the cocoa bean and I think better. If the battaer seems a little runny add flour!! They will run over and look exploded. ha ha ha, and one batch will do, it really will make more than it says. With these though, BE CAREFUL! You will eat TONS!!

Ultimate Chocolate Cupcakes with Ganache Filling

If you like Milk Chocolate better, use it!!!!!! I tested it and it rocks!! TRUST ME! Bittersweet I dispise!

 

Makes 12 cupcakes

Use a high quality bittersweet or semisweet chocolate for this recipe, such as one of the test kitchen's favorite baking chocolates, Callebaut Intense Dark Chocolate L-60-40NV or Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Bar. Though we highly recommend the ganache filling, you can omit it for a more traditional cupcake. The cupcakes can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored unfrosted in an airtight container.

Ingredients

Ganache Filling

• 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate , chopped fin or in chips
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Chocolate Cupcakes

• 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate , chopped fine or in chips
• 1/3 cup cocoa
• 3/4 cup hot coffee (Just do it, it makes it AMAZING!!! and so worth it) 
• 3/4 cup  flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon table salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 recipe Frosting

Instructions

• 1. FOR GANACHE FILLING: Place chocolate, cream, and confectioners’ sugar in medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave on high power until mixture is warm to touch, 20 to 30 seconds. Whisk until smooth; transfer bowl to refrigerator and let stand until just chilled, no longer than 30 minutes.
• 2. FOR CUPCAKES: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard-size muffin pan (cups have ½-cup capacity) with baking-cup liners. Place chocolate and cocoa in medium bowl. Pour hot coffee over mixture and whisk until smooth. Set in refrigerator to cool completely, about 20 minutes. Whisk flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda together in medium bowl; set aside.
• 3. Whisk oil, eggs, vinegar, and vanilla into cooled chocolate-cocoa mixture until smooth. Add flour mixture and whisk until smooth.
• 4. Divide batter evenly among muffin pan cups. Place one slightly rounded teaspoon ganache filling on top of each cupcake. Bake until cupcakes are set and just firm to touch, 17 to 19 minutes. Cool cupcakes in muffin pan on wire rack until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Carefully lift each cupcake from muffin pan and set on wire rack. Cool to room temperature before frosting, about 1 hour.
• 5. TO FROST: Mound 2 to 3 tablespoons frosting on center of each cupcake. Using small icing spatula or butter knife, spread frosting to edge of cupcake, leaving slight mound in center.

FROSTIN!!!!!
 Cream Cheese frosting works great on these, just jives with them so awesome!!
1 pkg cream cheese
3T Cocoa
Powdered sugar til stiff and to taste!
Tiny bit of milk if needed.

Mix together and frost, let the cupcakes sit, REALLY! You frosting will melt and they'll be as ugly as my first batch! If you take a sandwich bag and spoon the frosting into it and slightly cut a corner off you can pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes.. Now ENJOY!!!
