Ingredients

  • 1/4 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
  • 16 fluid ounces Hershey's chocolate syrup
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules

For the ganache:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces good semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.

Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time. Mix in the chocolate syrup and vanilla. Add the flour and coffee granules and mix until just combined. Don't overbeat, or the cupcakes will be tough.

Scoop the batter into the muffin cups and bake for 30 minutes, or until just set in the middle. Don't overbake! Let cool thoroughly in the muffin pan.

For the ganache, cook the heavy cream, chocolate chips, and instant coffee in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until smooth and warm, stirring occasionally.

Dip the tops of the cupcakes into the ganache. Do not refrigerate.

    These were delicious! Made them for a birthday party and everyone loved them! I cut out the center of the cupcakes to make them "stuffed" with the chocolate ganache and then put peanut butter buttercream on top. They were fabulous!

    My younger brother and cousin loved these cupcakes. I loved the texture of them, because they were like brownies, but they were too chocolatey. A completly chocolate cake with semisweet ganache, it tasted a little dark. Next time we made it, we put less chocolate in the batter and whipped the ganache (milk chocolate with some cream. Came out much lighter and tastier :

    TASTY!!! My family adores these delectable little chocolate cakes of love! Our daughter just asked me to make these as her birthday treat this year, with extra filling and ganache on top. I fill them with a cream filling before I pour the ganache on and they get eaten up down to the last crumb. Definitely not your average and boring cupcake. Thanks Ina!
