CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE CUPCAKES WITH GANACHE FROSTING
Steps:
- Place rack in the middle of oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with cupcake papers.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, and set aside. Using a mixer, cream the butter and 3/4 cup sugar until pale yellow, about 1 minute. Add the egg and stir until just combined. Gently add half of the flour mixture and stir until just incorporated. Mix in the milk. Add the remaining flour mixture and stir until combined. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, 2 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Fill prepared cupcake liners with enough chocolate batter to just cover the bottom. Add a dollop of the cream cheese filling to each, then top with remaining batter (cream cheese filling should not be visible).
- Bake for 20 minutes. Let cupcakes stand in the pan for 3 minutes and then remove and allow to cool completely on a rack.
- Dip each cupcake into the ganache, forming an even layer of frosting. Place in the refrigerator to set, about 15 minutes.
- Place a heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering water, and whisk together the chocolate, cream, and espresso powder (if using). Continue whisking until chocolate is melted and the mixture is thick, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.

Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help your cupcakes bake evenly and prevent them from becoming dry or dense.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the mixture and make your cupcakes light and airy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Mix in the dry ingredients gradually, alternating with the milk. This will help prevent the batter from becoming lumpy.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
- Bake the cupcakes at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaked cupcakes will be gooey in the center, while overbaked cupcakes will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before filling them with cheesecake. This will help prevent the cheesecake from melting.
- Chill the cupcakes for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the cheesecake set and make the cupcakes easier to handle.
Conclusion:
Chocolate cupcakes with cheesecake centers are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your cupcakes turn out perfect every time.
