CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE CUPCAKES
Steps:
- Preheat the convection oven to 325 degrees F. Line a cupcake pan with 24 cupcake liners.
- In a mixing bowl, add the sugar, vanilla and eggs, and mix until combined. With the mixer on low speed, add the milk and oil, and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and mix together. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and mix on medium speed until the batter is smooth, about 2 minutes. Turn off the mixer and add the hot coffee. Mix on low for 2 minutes more.
- Fill the lines three-quarters full with batter and bake for 14 minutes. Once completely cooled, use a paring knife to cut out the center of the cupcake.
- To assemble: Using a small ice cream scoop, fill the cupcakes with 1 scoop of the cooled Chocolate Truffle Ganache. Using a piping bag with a 1M tip, generously frost the cupcakes with Whipped Chocolate Buttercream, making sure to cover the filled area.
- Add the boiling cream to the chips and stir together until chips are completely melted. Add liqueur, mix well and set aside to cool.
- In an electric mixer, beat the butter on high for 2 minutes. Once the butter is whipped, add the powdered sugar 1 cup a time until well blended. Add the vanilla and mix well. Add the cocoa powder and blend on medium speed until well incorporated. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the heavy cream. Once the heavy cream is incorporated, turn the mixer on high and whip for 3 to 4 minutes.

DEEP FRIED CUPCAKES
My friend and I thought we made this recipe up when we were trying to think of ideas for the cupcake shop we were opening, but when I googled it, I found it's been done. But here is the version we've been working on. You can use any kind of cupcake and frosting combo, but this one is a chocolate cupcake with a chocolate ganache frosting. Just be sure to eat them warm!

Steps:
- For cupcakes:.
- Beat butter until softened.
- Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating until well combined.
- Measure the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder
- into a small sized bowl and whisk to combine.
- Measure out the milk and vanilla and stir to combine.
- Add about a third of the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar and beat to combine.
- Add about a half of the milk/vanilla and beat to combine. Continue adding, alternating between dry and wet and finishing with the dry.
- Scoop batter into cupcake cups about 1/2 full.
- Bake at 350 F for 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- For Ganache:.
- Place the chocolate in a small glass bowl.
- Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just starts to boil.
- Pour the cream over the chocolate and stir until all the chocolate is melted and integrated with the cream.
- While it is still warm, spread a thin layer of it over the cupcakes. It will harden when it cools.
- For batter:.
- Beat egg and milk.
- Mix all other ingredients in a separate bowl and slowly add to the egg mixture, beating until smooth.
- Set aside for dunking. I do not recommend keeping this mixture in the refrigerator at all. I made some in advance and stuck it in the fridge and the texture changed. It became much thicker and not as easy to use for dunking.
- For frying:.
- Remove the cupcake wrapper. You do not want charred paper.
- Dunk your cupcake in the funnel cake batter, making sure to cover all sides completely.
- Follow the instructions on your fryer (You could also fry in a pot. It works, but it's much more messy.). I used peanut oil, but any vegetable oil will do.
- Fry until all sides are golden brown (about 3 minutes).
- Remove from the fryer and dust with powdered sugar.

TRUFFLE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES
I love food served with an unexpected twist, like these cupcakes with a creamy chocolate truffle center. My kids love to "help" make them, but I have to be sure to have enough truffles saved to actually fill the cupcakes! -Amanda Noll, Spanaway, Washington
