📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, add eggs, oil, milk, sour cream, vanilla extract and mix until combined. The mixture will look bubbly.
Eggs (Large, Room temperature)3Vanilla extract2 tsp
2
Add cake mix and mix until batter is smooth. A few small lumps are totally fine and will dissolve during baking.
3
Pour batter in liners and bake at 350 degrees F for ⏱️ 18-20 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean.
4
Remove from oven and allow them to cool to room temperature.
5
While the cupcakes are baking, make the filling. Add pudding mix and heavy cream in a large bowl. Mix with a hand-held mixer until mixture becomes thick and fluffy. If it's too thick, mix in additional heavy cream (1 tbsp at a time) to thin it out to your desired consistency. Keep this chilled until you are ready to assemble cupcakes.

Also, make chocolate ganache. Add chocolate chips and heavy cream in a bowl. Heat in the microwave at ⏱️ 30 second increments. Mix often until chocolate chips are fully melted and you have a smooth and glossy mixture. Let the mixture cool down and thicken a bit.

To assemble, remove liners from cooled cupcakes and slice them in half with a sharp knife.
8
Pour about 1 tablespoon of the thick filling on the bottom portion and then stick the other half of the cupcake on top.
9
Pour 1-2 tablespoons of ganache on top of the cupcake and let it drip a little along the sides. Enjoy!
