Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar.
In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla until well combined.
Gradually combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients; stir gently until just mixed.
Fill each cupcake liner two-thirds full and bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
For the ganache, heat heavy cream until simmering; pour over chocolate chips and let sit for five minutes before stirring until smooth.
Once cupcakes cool completely, top generously with ganache.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for better texture.

Don’t overmix the batter to keep cupcakes light and fluffy.

Feel free to add flavor variations like espresso powder or orange zest to the ganache.
