Ingredients
For the cupcakes: 8 oz. bittersweet chocolate 1-1/2 cups sugar 1-1/2 cups gf flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup milk 1/2 cup sour cream 1/2 cup canola oil 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
For the Filling: 1 cup whipping cream 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar
For the glaze: 4 ounces gf semi-sweet chocolate 1/2 cup milk
Directions
For cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 12 muffin cups with liners. Melt chocolate in a double boiler over hot, not boiling water. Remove pan from heat. Combine sugar, gf flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, sour cream and canola oil. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Stir in chocolate. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until all ingredients are smoothly blended. Fill muffin cups about two-thirds full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
For filling: Whip cream just short of desired consistency. Add sugar and whip for 1 or 2 more minutes. Fill a pastry bag with whipped cream and refrigerate until ready to use.
For glaze: Bring cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and add chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth, then strain and let cool.
To assemble: When cupcakes are completely cool, cut small holes in the tops of each cupcake with a small sharp knife. Carefully remove the cake in the hole without going all the way to the bottom, leaving about 1/2" of cake. Fill the holes with the whipped cream and scrape the tops so the cream does not protrude from the hole. Spread a thin layer of glaze on the tops of the cupcakes. If desired, you can fit a decorative tip to a pastry bag and make a whipped cream design on the top of each cupcake.
