Chocolate Truffle Cupcakes

Take a bite into a moist delicious chocolate cupcake only to find a hidden chocolate truffle in the center. Chocolate bliss at its finest. This doctored Devils food cake mix makes a moister, more fudge-like cupcake. Then drop in the truffle made with semi-sweet chocolate and sweetened condensed milk. These Chocolate Truffle Cupcakes, which are heaven sent and easy to make, are super fun to share.

Anyone who likes chocolate will love these Chocolate Truffle Cupcakes. The truffle is tucked away in the center of a Devils food cupcake that’s been doctored with sour cream. So good!

It’s an easy recipe with a few steps, but totally worth the decadence waiting for you in that first bite.

Making Chocolate Truffle Cupcakes

Start with the truffles

You need 4 ingredients for the truffles: semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and vanilla extract.

In a small saucepan on low heat, add the chocolate, milk, and butter.

Once the chocolate is melted, smooth, and creamy, remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.

Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Next, roll the chocolate into 24 1-inch balls. Place the truffles back into the frig while you make the cupcake batter.

Time to make the cupcakes

In a large bowl, mix all of the wet ingredients: eggs, sour cream, oil, and water.

Next, add the cake mix with the beaters on low speed. Once mixed, beat for another 2 minutes on medium speed.

Fill cupcake liners about 1/3 full, then place a truffle into the cup. Top with remaining cake batter. Easy.

Bake in a preheated oven set at 350° for 20 – 24 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Remove the cupcakes from the muffin pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Your kitchen smells amazing at this point.

Frosting Chocolate Truffle Cupcakes

I love frosting…especially chocolate frosting. Making cupcakes gives me the best excuse to make frosting.

Starting with the chocolate frosting shown above is a Chocolate Butter Frosting. It’s smooth, creamy, and loaded with melted unsweetened baking chocolate. Delicious!

There’s also the powdered sugar with a dollop of Cool Whip. Yummy, quick, and easy.

Another scrumptious chocolate frosting is listed under my Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes. The pumpkin cupcakes are great, too, but check out the frosting.

If you love coffee and chocolate together, try this Mocha Frosting recipe. I even show you how to make it dual colored for that fancy look.

For a splash of color, this Raspberry Whipped Cream would not only taste wonderful with the chocolate, but it’s pretty darn pretty.
