Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 cup Butter (unsalted)
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Cake Flour
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Cream Cheese
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 cup Shortening
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Curls
Instructions
- Make Truffles: Heat the heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan until simmering. Remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours until firm, then scoop into small balls.
- Prepare Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: cake flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar. Add in the egg, vanilla extract, and sour cream, mixing until smooth. Gradually incorporate the dry mix until just combined.
- Bake: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and fill each one two-thirds full with the batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. Let them cool completely in the tin.
- Cool: Once cooled, carefully cut out a small cavity in the center of each cupcake to make space for the truffles.
- Fill and Chill: Place a chocolate truffle in the cavity of each cupcake and refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to set.
- Make Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. If needed, adjust the texture with a little milk until it’s smooth and spreadable.
- Frost: Generously frost the cooled cupcakes with the chocolate frosting and top them off with chocolate curls for an extra touch of elegance.
