Time 55m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 ⅓ cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¾ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup buttermilk
1 (10 ounce) bag Ghirardelli® 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
3 tablespoons Ghirardelli 100% Unsweetened Cocoa
¼ cup boiling water
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup confectioners' sugar
1 pinch salt
Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Bunnies

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 muffin pans with paper liners; set aside.
  • Into a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs and sugar on medium speed for 1 minute.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the vanilla, oil, and buttermilk.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the liquids; beat until combined after each addition, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the cups so that each is two-thirds full. Bake, rotating halfway, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to cool.
  • Chocolate Frosting: Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler; stir occasionally until smooth, about 5 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together the cocoa and boiling water. Let both the chocolate and the cocoa mixture cool to room temperature.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar, and salt on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the melted chocolate on low speed, and then beat in the cocoa mixture.
  • To Assemble: Pipe frosting onto cupcakes. Let frosting set for 5 minutes. Decorate the cupcakes by placing a Ghirardelli Chocolate Bunny on top of the frosting.

These cupcakes were a bit too dry, but the frosting was delicious. I would try them again with a different recipe for the cupcakes.
