Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Fold in the chopped strawberries gently into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cupcakes cool, prepare the chocolate ganache by heating the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, dip the tops into the chocolate ganache and let them set on a wire rack.
- Garnish with additional strawberries if desired before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cupcakes are completely cool before dipping in chocolate to prevent melting.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
