Ingredients
Cupcakes
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup (75 ml) cocoa powder, sifted
2 teaspoons (10 ml) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt
2 oz (55 g) dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup (60 ml) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1/2 cup (125 ml) milk
1 teaspoon (5 ml) white vinegar
1 egg
1 cup (250 ml) sugar
8 oz (225 g) dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup (180 ml) 35% cream
3 tablespoons (45 ml) light corn syrup
Preparation
Cupcakes
With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Line 16 muffin cups with paper or silicone liners. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave oven, melt chocolate and butter. Remove bowl from the double boiler. Let cool.
In a measuring cup, combine milk and vinegar. Set aside.
In a bowl, beat egg and sugar until the mixture lightens. Add cooled chocolate mixture and combine well. Add dry ingredients alternately with the milk mixture until smooth.
With a 60 ml (¼ cup) ice cream scoop, spoon batter into cups. Bake for about 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of a cupcake comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
Ganache
Place chocolate in a bowl. Set aside.
In a small saucepan or in the microwave oven, bring cream and corn syrup to a boil. Pour over chocolate. Let melt for 1 minute without stirring.
With a whisk or spatula, combine until smooth. Refrigerate for 45 minutes, stirring regularly, or until spreadable. Warm for a few seconds in the microwave oven, if necessary.
With an offset spatula or pastry bag fitted with a plain or fluted tip, frost cooled cupcakes.
