Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Boiling water
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix until well combined.
Slowly add the boiling water to the batter, whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth (batter will be thin).
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes cool, prepare the creme filling. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the heavy cream to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Using a small paring knife, cut a hole in the center of each cake (saving the cake plug). Fill the cavity with the creme filling using a piping bag or spoon. Replace the cake plug to seal in the filling.
To make the chocolate topping, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second increments, stirring after each until smooth.
Drizzle or spread the melted chocolate over the top of each cake, allowing it to set for 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your luscious Chocolate Creme Cakes!
