Chocolate Ganache Cupcakes: Ina Garten recipe taken from Food network.
Serves 12 cupcakes
I love making chocolate ganache cupcakes for my daughter – they’re her favorite. I like the fact that there’s no fancy chocolate involved and a simple can of Hershey’s chocolate syrup will yield amazing results from this easy-to-follow recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/4 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
- 16 fluid ounces chocolate syrup (recommended Hershey’s)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
For The Ganache:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces good semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
- candied violets, for decoration, optional
Method:
Line muffin pans with 12 paper liners. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time. Mix in the chocolate syrup and vanilla. Add the flour and mix until just combined. Don’t overbeat, or the cupcakes will be tough.
Scoop the batter into the muffin cups and bake for 30 minutes, or until just set in the middle. Don’t overbake! Let the cupcakes cool thoroughly in the pan.
For the ganache, cook the heavy cream, chocolate chips and instant coffee in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until smooth and warm, stirring occasionally.
Dip the top of each cupcake in the ganache. Decorate with candied violets, if desired. Do not refrigerate.

Is that silver varq on the ganache?
Hi Balvinder,
Yes that is silver varq on the ganache. I had bought some from the Indian grocery store and thought it would give a pretty and festive touch.

I garnished it with edible silver foil (varq) that is easily available at an Indian grocery store. “Varq”is used to garnish sweets in India, It is safe to eat, is tasteless, odorless and inexpensive.
These are so stunning and look delicious!
Thanks so much Marina.
