Chocolate on Chocolate Cupcakes



These cupcakes are wonderful! Chocolate cake is filled with chocolate filling, then topped with chocolate frosting!

Cupcake:
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 1/3 cup water
2/3 cup oil
1/2 cup sour cream
3 eggs

Bake as directed by the box. When done, hollow out a small portion of the middle to pour in chocolate ganache.


Filling:
1 cup chocolate chips
2/3 cup whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla

Heat chocolate and vanilla in the microwave till melted, then stir in vanilla. Pour a small amount in the hollowed out center of each cupcake.


Frosting:
1 cup butter
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup melted chocolate chips (or more depending on how rich you want it)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
powdered sugar (enough to get to desired consistency)

Cream butter, then add sour cream. Pour melted sugar in and beat on high, incorporating it before the chocolate cools. Add the vanilla and start mixing in the sugar. Continue until desired consistency has been met. Frost cupcakes.



Adding a garnish is easy and makes the cupcake so much more fun to eat. Grated chocolate, coconut, or nuts make a great addition.
