Chocolate Cream Cupcakes and Ganache Frosting


1 box chocolate cake mix
3 eggs
1 cup cour cream
2 Cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup grated chocolate for garnish

Mix together cake mix, eggs, and sour cream until smooth.,

Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes.

Cool completely in a wire rack. When cooled, cut the tops off and pull out some of the cake filing. Leaving a solid wall of cake to support filling. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form and add powdered sugar i think it needs to be a little sweeter and added quite a bit more sugar to mine. Add whipped cream by spoonfuls to the holes of all cupcakes and top with lid. Frost with desired frosting and garnish with grated chocolate.

Chocolate Ganache Frosting:

1 Cup heavy whipping cream
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Heat cream in a saucepan until it comes to a boil

Remove from hear and pour over chocolate chips in a mixing bowl. Stir and mix together. You can pour it over the cakes warm or wait till cooled. I think easier when it is warm.

This recipe came from THIS book....GET IT!
