Chocolate Ganache Cupcakes

Allison and I saw this on Food Network's Barefoot Contessa the other day and it looks SO EASY! And the recipe only yields 12 cupcakes rather than 24+. Perfect!


Ingredients

  • 1/4 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 (16-ounce) can Hershey's chocolate syrup
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules

For the ganache:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces good semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.

Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time. Mix in the chocolate syrup and vanilla. Add the flour and coffee granules and mix until just combined. Don't overbeat, or the cupcakes will be tough.

Scoop the batter into the muffin cups and bake for 30 minutes, or until just set in the middle. Don't overbake! Let cool thoroughly in the muffin pan.

For the ganache, cook the heavy cream, chocolate chips, and instant coffee in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until smooth and warm, stirring occasionally.

Dip the tops of the cupcakes into the ganache. Do not refrigerate.

With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues
of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site
has a lot of completely unique content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any solutions to help prevent content from being ripped off? I'd
definitely appreciate it.

My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on numerous websites for about
a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
I have heard very good things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

Everything said made a ton of sense. But, what about
this? what if you composed a catchier post title?
I am not saying your content is not solid., however what if
you added something that grabbed people's attention? I mean "Chocolate Ganache Cupcakes" is kinda plain. You should look
at Yahoo's front page and see how they create post headlines to get viewers to click.
You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about what you've got to say.

In my opinion, it would make your website a little bit more interesting.
