Irresistible Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes

A delightful twist on the classic Boston Cream Pie, these cupcakes feature moist vanilla cake filled with rich custard and topped with silky chocolate ganache.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup vanilla custard or pudding
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  3. Alternately add flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Divide batter evenly among cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Cool completely.
  4. Use a small knife or cupcake corer to remove the center of each cupcake. Fill with custard.
  5. Heat heavy cream until steaming, then pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Spoon ganache over each cupcake. Chill until set.
