Description
Delightful cupcakes that blend cake, custard, and chocolate, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup vanilla custard
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add in the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely in the pan.
- Once cooled, use a knife or cupcake corer to cut a small hole in the center of each cupcake and fill it with vanilla custard.
- Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until just boiling. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a bowl and let it sit for a few minutes to melt before stirring until smooth for the glaze.
- Dip the tops of the filled cupcakes into the chocolate glaze and allow to set on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
For best flavor, use high-quality chocolate for the glaze. Store leftover cupcakes in an airtight container.
