Description

Indulge in the simple pleasure of vanilla cupcakes, a delightful treat that embodies a soft, airy texture with a tender crumb. Each bite offers a moistness that melts in your mouth, delivering a pure, sweet vanilla flavor that's both comforting and satisfying. These cupcakes are a testament to the fact that sometimes, the most straightforward flavors are the most exquisite.

To complement the delicate cupcake, a whipped ganache frosting is prepared. This frosting is incredibly smooth and creamy, providing a luxurious contrast to the cupcake's airy base. The ganache is rich but not overpowering, perfectly balancing the vanilla notes with its subtle sweetness and velvety texture.

It's a harmonious pairing that elevates the entire dessert experience. These cupcakes are surprisingly easy to create, making them perfect for both novice and experienced bakers. In under an hour, you can have a batch ready to enjoy, filling your kitchen with the inviting aroma of vanilla.

For optimal enjoyment, these cupcakes can be stored with a little care. If frosted, they remain fresh at room temperature for up to eight hours. Unfrosted cupcakes, stored in an airtight container, will stay moist for a couple of days.

For longer preservation, keep the unfrosted cupcakes in the refrigerator and the frosting separately for up to a week. Alternatively, individually wrapped cupcakes can be frozen for as long as six months; remember to thaw them before adding the frosting. This ensures that the cupcakes retain their delightful texture and flavor whenever you're ready to enjoy them.

Feel free to use different types of sweeteners to customize the recipe to your taste.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 350 F/180C. Line a 12-count cupcake tray with cupcake liners. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour, sweetener, kosher salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
    2.
    In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for about 30 to 45 seconds until completely melted. In a separate pot, heat the almond milk until very hot. Add the melted butter, eggs, and almond milk into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix gently to combine with a spatula until well incorporated.
    3.
    Distribute the batter equally into the 12 cupcake liners, filling about inches full. Bake the cupcakes on the center rack of the oven for 23-25 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean and the cupcakes are lightly golden in color on the top. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
    4.
    In the meantime, in a small bowl, bring the heavy cream to a boil in the microwave. In another bowl, add the chocolate chips. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips. Allow the mixture to rest for about 5 minutes before stirring. Set aside to cool completely.
    5.
    Once cooled, cover the mixture with plastic wrap and transfer it to the fridge to chill. If you use a chocolate bar, chop the chocolate into very small pieces before pouring the cream over. Once the ganache is chilled, whip on medium speed until fluffy and light in color.
    6.
    Pipe or spread the whipped ganache onto the cupcakes. Transfer the frosted cupcakes to the fridge for a couple of minutes before serving.
