Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Boiling water
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the egg, milk, oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
Slowly stir in the boiling water to create a smooth, thin batter.
Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
For the cream filling, beat the butter in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue mixing.
Add the heavy cream and remaining 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the filling mixture. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the filling to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. Insert the tip into the top center of each cooled cupcake and gently squeeze to fill the cupcake with cream.
Optional: Sprinkle the tops of the cupcakes with mini chocolate chips for garnish.
Serve and enjoy your Surprise Cream Filled Cupcakes!
