Description
Delightful Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes filled with creamy vanilla pudding and topped with rich chocolate ganache.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup vanilla pudding (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard cupcake tin with paper liners.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once the cupcakes have cooled, use a small knife to cut a cone out of the top of each cupcake. Remove the cone, leaving a hollow space for the pudding filling.
- Spoon or pipe the vanilla pudding into the hollowed cupcakes until slightly heaped.
- For the chocolate ganache, place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy whipping cream and corn syrup. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 5 minutes before stirring until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it over the filled cupcakes, letting it drip down the sides. Allow the ganache to set for a few minutes before serving.
