CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350F / 180C / 160C fan and line your muffin tins with paper cases
• In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix well to combine.
• In a separate bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the melted butter and both sugars until smooth.
• Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl each time and beating well after each. Add the vanilla and beat to combine.
• Add ⅓ of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir through gently until just combined.
• Now add half of the buttermilk, mix gently again. Continue like this until all the flour and buttermilk is combined... just. It is important not to overmix or be too heavy handed otherwise your cupcakes will turn out dense and tough.
• Fill the cupcake cases to about only to about ½ full. Bake in the oven for around 18-20 minutes, turning the pan around in the oven half way through to make sure they bake evenly. When a toothpick inserted comes out with just a crumb or two, they are done.
• Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Make sure they are completely cool before frosting.
• For the cheesecake filling, add the cream cheese, cream, vanilla and half the icing sugar to a bowl and beat using a handheld beater until smooth and creamy.
• Use a sharp knife or cupcake corer to cut a hole in the top of each cupcake, then fill each with around 1 teaspoon of the cheesecake filling. Set aside the rest.
• In another bowl, beat the butter and remaining sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the leftover cheesecake filling, cocoa and salt and beat just until smooth (don't overbeat).
• Pipe the frosting on top of your cupcakes then roll the edges in cookie crumbs.
