Ingredients:

For the Chocolate Cupcakes:

• 400 grams (2 cups) sugar
• 220 grams (1 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour
• 177 ml (3/4 cup) Hershey’s Cocoa
• 7.5 grams (1 1/2 tsp) baking powder
• 7.5 grams (1 1/2 tsp) baking soda
• 5 grams (1 tsp) salt
• 2 large eggs
• 240 ml (1 cup) milk
• 120 ml (1/2 cup) vegetable oil
• 10 ml (2 tsp) vanilla extract
• 240 ml (1 cup) boiling water

For the Chocolate Pudding Center:

• Petit Pot dark chocolate French dessert or your choice of regular chocolate pudding

For the Chocolate Frosting:

• 226 grams (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 360-480 grams (3-4 cups) powdered sugar
• 118 ml (1/2 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 79 ml (1/3 cup) whole milk
• 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract

Topping (Optional):

• A handful of mini chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line your cupcake pan with baking cups.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix with a hand-held or stand mixer for 2-3 minutes until combined.
4. Stir in the boiling water until the mixture is well incorporated. The batter will be thin.
5. Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full with the batter and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
6. Cool the cupcakes on a rack completely before coring and filling.
7. For the frosting, beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, then the milk and vanilla extract. Whip for 5 minutes on high speed until fluffy.
8. Once the cupcakes are cool, remove a small core from the center of each cupcake and pipe in the chocolate pudding. Replace the top of the core if desired.
9. Pipe the chocolate frosting onto the filled cupcakes.
10. Sprinkle the top with mini chocolate chips for an added chocolate kick.
