Ingredients
Scale
1 cup of all-purpose flour
½ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of baking powder
½ teaspoon of baking soda
¼ teaspoon of salt
¾ cup of granulated sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup of buttermilk
½ cup of melted butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
8 oz of cream cheese, softened
¼ cup of granulated sugar (for filling)
1 large egg (for filling)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (for filling)
8 oz of bittersweet chocolate, chopped (for frosting)
1 cup of heavy cream (for frosting)
2 tablespoons of powdered sugar (for frosting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until pale and fluffy. Add buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
To prepare the cheesecake filling, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then add egg and vanilla, mixing until creamy.
Fill each cupcake liner halfway with chocolate batter, add a spoonful of cheesecake filling, and top with more chocolate batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Once baked, cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the whipped ganache frosting by simmering heavy cream and pouring it over chopped chocolate. Whisk until smooth, cool, and then whip until fluffy.
Frost cooled cupcakes with ganache using a piping bag or spatula and decorate as desired.
Enjoy these luscious cupcakes with your preferred beverage!
