Hostess Cupcakes The Story: Wherever I go, I am “cupcake girl.” So sometimes I show up at a relative’s house and I am informed that I will be making cupcakes for a family affair. Do I have any tips, any scoops, even any cupcake pans? Nope. But I miraculously seem to make it work. Chocolate Cake: 3 eggs ½ cup oil ¾ cup buttermilk  1 cup sour cream  1 teaspoon vanilla extract  Devil’s Food Cake mix Cream Filling: 8 oz cream cheese ¼ cup butter, softened 3 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Chocolate Ganche: ½ cup chocolate chips 2 T heavy cream Melted White Chocolate for decoration Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line pans with 20 cupcake liners. 2. In a large bowl, mix eggs, oil, buttermilk, sour cream and vanilla extract. 3. Mix in (or sift in for easy mixing) cake mix and stir well. 4. Fill cupcake liners ¾ full and bake for 16-20 minutes, or until an inserted knife comes out clean. 5. Cream Filling: Beat all ingredients for 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Fill a piping bag with cream filling.  6. When cupcakes are cooled, use a small knife to cut a cone shaped piece out of the top of each cupcake. Cut the point part off of each “cone” so that you can use the top as a “lid.”  7. Fill the cupcake with filling and place the “lid” on top. 8. Ganache: Using a double boiler or the microwave, heat cream and chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Let cool for a few minutes, then spoon over cupcakes and spread evenly over cakes. Let set for 10 minutes.  9. Melt white chocolate (be careful, white chocolate burns easily) and drizzle over cakes.
