Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup vanilla pudding, prepared
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter and bake for 18-20 minutes.
Allow cupcakes to cool completely before filling with prepared vanilla pudding.
For the chocolate ganache, heat the heavy cream until just simmering, then pour it over the chocolate chips and let it sit for a few minutes.
Stir until smooth and pour over the filled cupcakes.
Notes
Make sure the cupcakes are completely cooled before adding the pudding to prevent it from melting.
For an extra touch, sprinkle some chocolate shavings on top of the ganache.
