Dreamy Cream-Filled Cupcakes

A pocket of frosting inside chocolate cupcakes makes an indulgent and delicious surprise.

Mmmmmm. I don’t know about you, but a cupcake is just one of those foods that has the power to make my day better, no matter what. Add a cream center and by god, I’m set for the week. These cupcakes are sinfully delicious! I made them with a buttercream filling and icing. I think the next time I’ll try a chocolate ganache on top instead just for kicks (think hostess cupcakes). Being the caffeine chicken that I am though (too much caffeine and I’m up thinking about cupcakes all night instead of sleeping), I just couldn’t bring myself to put that much chocolaty goodness into one place. That doesn’t mean you can’t though!
