If I were to pick one thing in the world to bring everywhere I go, it would be CHOCOLATE. Yes, you guessed it, I'm one of those crazy chocolate monsters that never stop eating. I always make sure there's food nearby (in case of emergency you know). Like the chocolate freak I am, I woke up today, craving for chocolate. This resulted in me eating a bunch of Nutella-filled breadslices, that made the cravings even worse. Because of this, I decided to bake Chocolate cupcakes! 

 

• 190 grams of all-purpose flour
• 150 grams of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• 70 g dark chocolate chips
• 250 ml boiling water + 2 teaspoons coffee powder 
• 250 ml heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 120 ml vegetable oil
• 500 g regular sugar

How to make it:

1. Put the chocolate chips into a bowl and pour in the hot water, coffee powder and the vanilla extract.
2. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and cocoa powder into a bowl.
3. Put the eggs into a mixing machine, whisking on medium speed for 3 minutes while gradually pouring in the oil.
4. Add the sugar, cream and the now cold chocolate mixture
5. Whisk for 2 more minutes
6. Stir in the sifted dry ingredients with a spatula and mix together the ingredients
7. Pour the mixture through a sieve over a large bowl to avoid lumps
8. Divide the mixture between 20 - 25 cupcake cases
9. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes on 180°C
10. Take out from the oven and leave to cool

For the ganache:

• 2,5 dl heavy cream
• 2,5 dl chocolate chips
• 0,5 dl Nutella (directly from the fridge)
• 100 gram cold butter

1. Whisk all the ingredients together on medium speed until the texture feels like meringue or when it is enough thick to stay on the whisk
2. Put the ganace into a piping bag and pipe on to the cold cupcakes
