Chocolate Cupcake With Creamy Filling Recipe

Chocolate cupcake preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. 3. In another bowl, beat together the egg, vegetable oil (or melted butter), milk, and vanilla extract. 4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. 5. Pour the batter into cupcake liners, filling them about 2/3 full. 6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before filling.

Creamy filling preparation

1. The filling can be made from whipped cream, buttercream, or a jam of your choice. 2. Once the cupcakes are cool, use a corer or a knife to create a small hole in the center of each cupcake. 3. Fill the hole with your choice of filling using a piping bag or a spoon. 4. Optionally, top the cupcakes with more frosting or a dusting of cocoa powder for decoration.
