Lava Red Velvet Cupcakes (Printer-Friendly Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Cupcakes
01 -
One 15-oz box of red velvet cake mix
02 -
Whatever the cake mix says you’ll need (like eggs, oil, and water)
→ Ganache Filling
03 -
8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate, preferably baking chocolate
04 -
Half a cup of heavy cream
→ Topping
05 -
Powdered sugar to sprinkle on top
# Let's Cook:
01 -
Pour the warmed-up cream over the chopped chocolate. Mix until you’ve got a smooth texture, then let it chill in the fridge for at least two hours until it firms up.
02 -
Set your oven to 350°F and get some muffin tins ready with liners.
03 -
Mix up the cake batter by following the instructions on the box. Fill the liners halfway with the batter.
04 -
Roll firm ganache into tablespoon-sized balls. Pop one into the center of each cupcake.
05 -
Bake the cupcakes for 20 to 23 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick comes out clean from the edge. Let them cool down a bit while still in the pans.
06 -
Remove the wrappers, flip the cupcakes upside-down, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and enjoy them while warm.
# Cook's Notes:
01 -
You can heat these up again in the microwave for a few seconds
02 -
Don’t put too much batter in the liners, or they’ll overflow
