GEORGETOWN CUPCAKE'S CHOCOLATE GANACHE CUPCAKES
This was the winning recipe in the 8 week long Cupcake War put on by The Washington Post. It is stated to be "moist and chocolaty cake with just the right amount of rich ganache frosting on top." The original recipe calls for Valrhona cocoa powder and Callebaut chocolate, but any good quality cocoa powder and semisweet chocolate chips may be substituted.

Steps:
- Cupcakes:.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a standard cupcake pan with 12 baking cups and a second pan with 6 cups.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt on a sheet of wax paper.
- Beat the butter on medium speed until fluffy. Stop to add the sugar; beat on medium speed until well incorporated.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing slowly after each addition.
- Combine the vanilla extract and milk in a large liquid measuring cup.
- Reduce the speed to low. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, then gradually add 1/3 of the milk mixture, beating until well incorporated. Add another 1/3 of the flour mixture, followed by 1/3 of the milk mixture. Stop to scraped down the bowl as needed. Add the remaining flour mixture, followed by the remaining milk mixture, and beat until just combined.
- Add the cocoa powder, beating on low until just incorporated.
- Use a standard size ice cream scoop to fill each cupcake paper with batter, so that the wells are 2/3's full. Bake for 18-20 minutes (start checking at 15 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Transfer the pans to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Ganache:.
- Lay a large piece of wax paper on the work surface.
- Combine the heavy cream and chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Fill a medium saucepan with an inch or two of water and place over medium-low heat. Place the bowl over the saucepan and let the mixture melt, stirring until it is shiny and smooth.
- Remove the bowl of chocolate ganache from the saucepan; let it cool slightly, for 2-3 minutes. Working with one cupcake at a time, carefully dip each cupcake top in the warm ganache, twisting your wrist as needed to make sure the cupcake top gets completely coated. To prevent drips, quickly turn the cupcake right side up and place on the wax paper. Allow the ganache to set for 5 minutes before serving.

- Combine the vanilla extract, vanilla bean seeds and milk in a large liquid measuring cup.
- Reduce the speed to low. Add one third of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, then gradually add one third of the milk mixture, beating until well incorporated. Add another third of the flour mixture, followed by one third of the milk mixture. Stop to scrape down the bowl as needed. Add the remaining flour mixture, followed by the remaining milk mixture, and mix slowly until just combined.
- Add in the maple syrup and mix slowly until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, just until incorporated.
- Scoop batter into baking cups so that they are 2/3 full and bake for 18 to 20 minutes (start checking after 15 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting: Step 10: Fill a medium saucepan with 1 to 2 inches of water and place over medium-low heat. Place the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a medium glass bowl over the saucepan and melt the chocolate chips. Stir occasionally until the chips are completely melted. Remove the bowl of melted chocolate and let it come to room temperature. Then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for one hour or until it reaches the consistency of peanut butter. Using a spatula, whip up the ganache and place it in a plastic piping bag fitted with a large round metal tip. Frost each cupcake with the Georgetown Cupcake's signature swirl.
