Oh yes I did!
I just took several recipes, combined them, changed them a tad and made a awesome chocolaty chocolate, chocolate covered cupcake. This has got to be the best I've ever had!
I took a favorite chocolate cupcake recipe...
filled it with the best "heavenly hot fudge"...
and covered it in chocolate ganache!
OMG! (and I hate texting abbreviations, but it's just that good).
So here I am sharing it before I forget what I did.
3c. Flour
2c. Sugar
2c. Sugar
1/2c. Instant vanilla pudding
1/2c. Cocoa

1t. Salt
Combine and sift the above dry ingredients and add
2/3c. oil

Combine and sift the above dry ingredients and add
2/3c. oil
2c. water
2T. white vinegar
2T. white vinegar
2t. vanilla
Mix until blended. Pour into 24 cupcake papers (about 2/3 full at least), and bake at 350degrees for 20-25 minutes until raised and cake tester comes out clean. Cool completely.

Meanwhile you'll wanna make the hot fudge filling so that it can thicken and cool completely.
Heavenly Hot Fudge Sauce
2c. Sifted powdered sugar
6oz. Chocolate chips
1/2c. Butter
12oz. can evaporated milk
1/4t. salt
Combine all in sauce pan, bring slowly to a boil (about 15 minutes). Boil for 1 minute while stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 3/4t. vanilla extract. Cool completely, stirring every once in a while to help with cooling process.
When both the cupcakes and hot fudge is room temperature take a squeeze bottle or piping bag (bottle is way easier b/c the sauce isn't very thick), insert the tip it into the cupcake and gently squeeze desired amount into the center. You'll notice the cupcake "bulge" with sauce when it's full. Save the extra sauce for dipping :)
Next make...
Chocolate Ganache Frosting
3, 4oz bars semi sweet baking chocolate, chopped
3/8c. whipping cream (aka 1/2 of 3/4c. confusing but necessary)
Bring cream to a simmer over low heat in a small sauce pan. Remove from heat and add chocolate, stir until melted and cool until it is a good spreading consistency. Makes about 1 1/4c.
Now, your almost done! Spread the ganache carefully over top the cupcakes, covering your fudge hole (hehe) and making them irresistible!
Don't forget to try one, just in case something went wrong. Cut it nicely into bite size pieces or put all guilt aside and shove it into your mouth! OMG YUMMY!
