Ingredients

  • 1/4 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
  • 11 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.

    It's even better with other Chocolate Dipping Sauce

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    It was great when I used the Hershey's Chcolate syrup, but I am not a fan of Hershey's chocolate so I changed it out with... other brands. It was so much better!! Just check out your local grocery store for other chocoloate dipping sauce.Read more

    So worth it!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    These cupcakes were a hit! I made sure to measure out the chocolate syrup after reading about others overflowing. Mine didn't... overflow- in fact, a few could have used more batter. I'll definitely make these again, they were so moist and chocolate-y. Read more

    Holy Cow!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    These cupcakes are absolutely delicious! The only thing I changed was I used 5 large eggs instead of 4 extra large eggs.... Everything came out great! I did have extra ganache left over so I forced myself to make another batch of cupcakes. Oh well, sometimes you have to make sacrifices!! Great recipe, Ina! I will be making these again!Read more

    What conversions need to be done to make this a single layer cake as Ina mentioned doing this on her show.

    Chocolate Heaven

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I cheated and made Duncan Hines cupcakes, but I added about 2 Tablespoons of Hersheys syrup into the batter. Awesome!. I had... exactly 1/2 cup of whipping cream left after I made a dish last night and I decided to try the ganache. Boy howdy is it good. So chocolately and delicious. I didn't have coffee as I don't drink it so I did add the almond extract. I had enough ganache left to dip 2 bananas too. I ate so much chocolate this morning I have a bellyache, but it is worth it. Best chocolate fix I've had in awhile. Good job Ina!Read more
