For the buttercream frosting, I used this recipe!

  1. Preheat oven to 325 and line cupcake pan with liners.
  2. Mix dry ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add milk, oil, vanilla, egg on medium speed. Reduce speed and add boiling water for about 1 minute on high speed. Fill cupcake liners 1/2 full. Bake for 20 minutes
  3. Once cupcakes have cooled, add about 1 tsp of ganache filling to each cupcake.
