Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- Sea salt, for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350F 175C
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
Add eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract
Mix until smooth
Pour in the boiling water and stir until well combined
The batter will be thin, but thats okay
Line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners and fill each liner about 2/3 full with the batter
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean
Remove cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely
While the cupcakes are cooling, make the ganache
In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and heavy cream over low heat, stirring constantly
Once the mixture is hot but not boiling, remove from heat and stir in the semisweet chocolate chips until smooth and well combined
Allow the ganache to cool slightly before using it to frost the cupcakes
You can either dip the cupcakes into the ganache or spoon it over the top
Finish by sprinkling a pinch of sea salt over each cupcake for that perfect salted chocolate flavor
Let the ganache set before serving, and enjoy
