  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for filling)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for filling)

  • 4 oz semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
  3. Whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth.
  4. Incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mix gradually, stirring gently until combined.
  5. Pour in the hot water and mix until the batter is well blended and smooth.
  6. Divide the batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each one about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Beat 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Fold in the pureed strawberries.
  10. Repeat the beating process for the vanilla filling.
  11. Once the cupcakes are cool, cut a small hole in the center of each and fill with alternating cream fillings.
  12. Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream until it simmers, then add chocolate chips and stir until smooth for ganache.
  13. Spoon the ganache over each cupcake.
  14. Decorate with sprinkles or fresh strawberries as desired.
  15. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Allow cupcakes to cool completely before filling to maintain structural integrity.
