Buttermilk Chocolate Cupcakes with Whipped Ganache Frosting – Moist chocolate cupcakes topped off with a decadent Ghirardelli dark chocolate ganache frosting.
Add a Ghirardelli Impressions chocolate for the finishing touch, and you have the perfect Valentine’s Day treat!
To make ganache frosting, pour baking chips into a large, heat-safe bowl. Bring heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.
After five minutes, remove towel and begin to stir ganache slowly with a whisk. Continue whisking until smooth and velvety.
While ganache is cooling, begin making cupcakes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two muffin tins with cupcake liners and set aside.
