Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup (85 g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: Chocolate frosting
  • Optional: Powdered sugar
  • Optional: Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.
  4. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Using a spoon or piping bag, add a dollop of chocolate filling to the center of each cupcake, ensuring it’s fully submerged.
  7. Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out clean.
  8. Transfer the cupcakes to a cooling rack and let them cool completely before adding optional toppings.

Notes

[‘Use room-temperature ingredients for even mixing and consistent baking.’, ‘Avoid overbaking to keep the cupcakes moist.’, ‘Let the cupcakes cool completely before adding toppings to prevent the filling from spilling out.’, ‘Experiment with different fillings like caramel, peanut butter, or raspberry jam.’]
