Step by Step
Prepare the Ganache
- Place the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a small bowl. Heat in the microwave for 20 seconds. Stir with a fork until completely melted and smooth.Set aside to cool completely.
Bake the Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 325 ℉ (160 ℃).
- Mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
- Add in the milk, oil, and vanilla and stir everything together to combine.
- Pour the batter into a cupcake pan lined with cupcake liners.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
- When the ganache is completely cooled, whip with a handheld mixer until doubled in volume. The frosting will be thick.
- Frost cupcakes with chocolate frosting and add sprinkles.
My tips
If the whipped frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of cream at a time until you get the desired consistancy.
