VEGAN CREAM-FILLED CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES
Inspired by Hostess cupcakes, these vegan chocolate cupcakes are filled with an eggless meringue made with aquafaba (the cooking liquid from chickpeas) and glazed tops with a shiny chocolate ganache made with soy milk. They're so unbelievably delicious no one will believe they could be vegan. I'm excited for you to try this recipe--it is as fun to make as it is to eat.

Steps:
- For the chocolate cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place a rack in the center of the oven. Line a 12-cup regular muffin tin with muffin papers, or oil and flour the cups. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, superfine sugar, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (240 grams) cold water, the oil, and the vanilla. Pour the oil mixture into the flour mixture and mix them together with a wooden spoon until the batter is smooth and homogeneous. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling the cups about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 18 to 24 minutes, rotating the muffin tin midway through the baking time, until the cupcakes spring back when you touch them lightly in the middle and a cake tester inserted into the middle of a cupcake comes out clean. Let cool in the muffin tin on a wire rack for about 30 minutes, then remove the cupcakes from the tin and let them cool completely directly on the rack.
- While the cupcakes are baking, make the soy ganache and vegan marshmallow.
- For the soy ganache: Chop the chocolate and place in a medium metal or heat-proof glass bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the soy milk until just before it comes to a boil, when small bubbles collect along the sides of the pan. Pour the soy milk over the chocolate and let stand for about 30 seconds. Slowly whisk the chocolate and soy milk together until the chocolate is completely melted and the ganache is smooth.
- Pour the ganache into a small bowl and let it cool to room temperature so that it is cool to the touch but still somewhat liquid. If the ganache firms up too much, rewarm it slightly in the microwave or a bain-marie (see Cook's Note); don't warm it so much that it gets runny.
- For the vegan marshmallow: Place the aquafaba in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes, until the aquafaba gets foamy and thick. Slowly add the sugar and vanilla and whip on medium-high for 8 to 10 minutes, until the marshmallow is thick and fluffy. It will take a long time to thicken but once it does, it will magically become exactly like meringue. Use immediately.
- To assemble: When the cupcakes are completely cool, use a small teaspoon or a spoon handle to scoop out a divot in the center of each cupcake, about 1 1/2 inches deep and 1 inch wide. Set aside the pieces of cake you take out. Fill each hole with a spoonful of the marshmallow and top with a piece of the saved cake. Use an offset spatula or knife to spread the cupcake tops with the ganache, covering them fully.
- Make a cornet out of parchment paper. A cornet is a small parchment paper cone that you fill with melted chocolate, caramel, or piping icing that you use to write on cakes and cookies. To make a cornet, fold a piece of parchment paper on the diagonal and cut through the fold with a small paring knife so you have two triangles. Position one of the triangles so the longest edge is facing away from you on an angle from lower left to upper right, the shortest edge is on the right, and the middle-length edge is facing down (toward you). Now eyeball the mid-length edge to find the halfway point. Place your left hand at this point and hold it down with your forefinger and thumb. Bend down the top corner, then twist it under so that the point is approximately at the midpoint of the shortest edge and poking out about an inch. You will see the beginning of a cone forming. Slowly roll the parchment down with your right hand while anchoring the opposite tip with your left hand. After you've rolled the whole triangle into a cone, tuck the extended point of the open top inward to hold everything in place.
- Fill the cornet halfway with the melted chocolate (don't overfill or you will end up with a mess) and roll the top of the cornet closed like a tube of toothpaste, making sure to roll the cornet with the seam on the bottom. Snip the point with scissors or cut it off with a small paring knife to make a tiny opening for the filling to come out.
- Draw a decorative swirl across each of the cupcakes. Serve immediately or within a few hours of filling.
- These cupcakes should be eaten the same day they are made.

Tips:
- When preparing the filling, make sure the aquafaba is whipped until stiff peaks form to achieve a light and fluffy texture.
- Use room temperature ingredients for the cupcake batter, as this helps to ensure even baking and a smooth batter.
- Be careful not to overmix the cupcake batter, as this can result in a tough texture.
- Fill the cupcake liners no more than 2/3 full, as they will rise during baking.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before filling them, as this will help to prevent the filling from melting.
- When making the chocolate ganache, use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
- Make sure the ganache is completely cooled before piping it onto the cupcakes, or it will be too runny.
Conclusion:
These vegan cream-filled chocolate cupcakes are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor, creamy filling, and decadent ganache topping, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give these cupcakes a try - you won't be disappointed!
