I cannot even tell you how much fun it was to prepare these little chocolate gems for This Week’s Cravings theme this week.

Chocolate.

I mean, come on, chocolate? Definitely.

I have four daughters, trust me we love chocolate.

Triple Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache Recipe

I tried a few recipes to figure out what I wanted to make this week, so I have more delicious chocolate related recipes to share in upcoming weeks, but this week it’s the Triple Chocolate Cupcakes covered in a rich, dark chocolate ganache. Yum!

 We chose these cupcakes due to the theme being Chocolate Cubed, why not make some cupcakes that are chocolate cubed – ha!

Did you know that the 3rd week of March is American Chocolate Week?

Yeah, I didn’t either but if there is a holiday to celebrate chocolate, and especially one that celebrates it for a week straight, who am I to complain? Right? Right. Don’t argue with a woman and her chocolate!

Triple Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache Recipe

I’m going to make this easy, because you have to start with a basic chocolate cake mix. I have one I use as just my basic chocolate cake – you know – the kind you can make for any occasion and dress up or down.

I strongly suggest trying mine  because its the one I used for these and I can testify to how delicious it is.

We used this chocolate cake recipe. But you can totally use a box mix if you want too. It will still taste just as incredibly delicious! 

Let’s get down to business, now.

Ingredients
  

For cupcakes:

  • 13 ounces chocolate cake mix prepared batter
  • 3.4 ounces chocolate instant pudding and pie filling mix
  • 1 cups whole milk cold
  • 1 cups semi sweet chocolate chopped or 1 c. chocolate chips

For Chocolate Ganache:

  • 9 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

For cupcakes:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place 14-16 liners in muffin cups. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, prepare the batter of whatever recipe you chose for your chocolate cake batter.
  • In a small bowl, mix the milk, chocolate pudding mix and the chocolate chips until blended. Set aside.
  • Spoon the chocolate cake batter into muffin tins about 2/3rds of the way full. You should have enough batter for about a dozen and a half cupcakes.
  • Scoop a spoonful of the chocolate pudding mixture on top of each cupcake. Just leave it there on top, don’t mess with it or try to push it down.
  • Bake for about 20-24 minutes. (or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean)
  • Allow to cool on a wire rack before adding the chocolate ganache.

For Chocolate Ganache:

  • Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, as it’s starting to bubble, but not froth, pour the chopped chocolate in and then whisk until nice and smooth.
  • Remove from stove and allow to cool for about 10-20 minutes before pouring onto the cupcakes.
