It's been ages since I've posted anything chocolate! I think that I'm not like most female humanoids because I don't really ever crave chocolate. Caramel, yes, but very rarely chocolate.
You're calling me a freak under your breath right now, aren't you. That hurts. That hurts, but I can't really deny it.
These chocolate cupcakes are so chocolatey that they should make up for the dearth of chocolate on this blog. It's a chocolate trifecta: You've got your fluffy and moist chocolate cake. You've got your rich and luscious ganache filling. You've got your creamy and flavorful chocolate buttercream frosting.
What you should also have is a tall, cold glass of milk at the ready.
Chocolate Cubed Cupcakes (not to be confused with Cubed Chocolate Cupcakes)
Makes 24
Ingredients:
One batch of chocolate cupcakes
One batch of chocolate buttercream frosting
Ganache filling:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 7 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 ounce butter, room temperature
Directions:
Make the cupcakes as directed and let them cool completely.
Meanwhile, make the ganache filling by heating the cream and corn syrup over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Place the butter and chocolate in a large bowl and immediately pour the liquids it that bowl. Let this mixture sit for a moment before stirring it until smooth.
Prepare the frosting as directed.
To fill the cupcakes, carve out a cone-shaped hole and squirt the ganache inside. Apply frosting generously to the cupcakes and, after giving the components a few minutes to get to know each other, devour.

I crave sweets all the time, but I don't crave chocolate either. These cupcakes do look pretty amazing, though.
You know you may be crazy but it's a good crazy :P
These looks glorious. I need some pretty much now! I think you post enough deliciousness that a lack of chocolate is ok though!
These totally make up for the lack of chocolate here!
Yikes! I love the different shades and textures of chocolate in these cupcakes, Grace how can you not crave chocolate when you have these in front of you???
I'm not a chocoholic like everybody else in this family, but I definitely have to make these. They'll love 'em!
These look great and would definitely please the chocolate lovers in my life! I'm more of a spicy cinnamon girl or coconut girl. :)
Chocolate and milk sound so good right now!
The more chocolate, the better! LOL
I'd be glad to take any off your hands when you're not craving chocolate. ;)
I eat chocolate when I'm stressed. Since I'm stressed x 3 with hurricane Sandy on my doorstep, these would be the logical choice for my stress relief. If I have electricity tomorrow, I'm making these. :)
I'm the same - I don't often crave chocolate. But I just may be craving some chocolate now after seeing these!!
I crave chocolate constantly but now incessantly :)

For a person who doesn't crave chocolate you did an excellent job creating a chocolate masterpiece! Delicious!
I completely understand. I pretty much always crave caramel, but with chocolate, I have to see it to crave it. And, now, I'll be craving these cupcakes!
I don't like chocolate foods; I only like real, very pricy chocolate. I'm probably a freak, too.
I don't even need to crave it to want to eat it. I am of the chocolate needs to be a required part of the food groups camp:-)
I don't crave chocolate either... coconut and cinnamon treats on the other hand are always on my mind!
My chocolate obsessed family would dig these!
Yup I am one of those humanoids. Definitely. :) These look awesome. Anything with chocolate filling rocks.
OK I won't lie I found Arrow really boring, although he is gorgeous. I am not deleting it for now just in case it is like Vampire Diaries and really picks up. You can let me know what you think in a few weeks.
I forget have we talked Nashville? I LOVE it. And speaking of gorgeous, LUV Deacon, the bandmate. I like the music too.
...Maybe a little bit odd, but I wouldn't say a freak. :) You're still awesome!
Wow Grace, the chocolate cupcake look great...like the texture...and yes milk would be great with it.
Have a wonderful week ahead :)
I'm a bigger freak because I'm allergic to chocolate!
Yum, yum! Look at all that chocolaty goodness!
Well I am a chocoholic and I'm drooling right now Grace. These babies are addictive, and they would certainly be tastier than the halloween candy I'm eating now!
I do LOVE caramel but I confess to craving chocolate sometimes. These cupcakes look amazing!
God, that looks good!

I don't have too many cravings for chocolate either but sometimes it is really nice :) Those cupcakes do look awesome!
I don't usually crave chocolate in baked goods, just an occasional small piece of dark chocolate. But these cupcakes might make me crave it!
Not gonna lie...I'm SO not a chocolate person either. Well, maybe once in a blue moon. Or when I see cupcakes as luscious as this.
This is a chocolate lover's dream!I am not a chocolate lover...my husband and kids love chocolate, but I prefer other kind of desserts, but these cupcakes are making me drool,Grace!
You finally posted a picture of you! You're just as pretty as I imagined!
