Recipe:

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Yield: 12 cupcakes

Ingredients:

150g all-purpose flour
50g cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
150g granulated sugar
120ml vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
120ml whole milk
12 teaspoons chocolate truffle filling (store-bought or homemade)
200g dark chocolate, finely chopped
200ml heavy cream
Optional: chocolate sprinkles or grated chocolate for decoration

Ingredient Substitutions:

You can use a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version.
For a dairy-free option, substitute almond milk for whole milk and coconut cream for heavy cream.

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a cupcake tray with paper liners.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, and mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, alternating with the milk.
Mix until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
Fill each cupcake liner halfway with the batter.
Place a teaspoon of chocolate truffle filling in the center of each cupcake, then top with more batter until the liners are about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

For the Chocolate Ganache:

Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a minute. Stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Allow the ganache to cool for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
Dip the top of each cupcake into the ganache, letting the excess drip off. Optionally, decorate with chocolate sprinkles or grated chocolate.

Storage:

Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days, but bring them to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
