Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream

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, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients; stir until just mixed.
Fill each cupcake liner two-thirds full with batter and bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
While cooling, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering; remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
Dip each cooled cupcake top into the ganache and decorate with fresh strawberries before serving.
