Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the batter into the lined muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. While cooling, prepare the filling by whisking instant pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk for 2 minutes.
  5. Core each cupcake by cutting a circle in the center and gently lift out the piece.
  6. Fill each hollow with the prepared pudding and place cupcakes in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
  7. To make the ganache, heat heavy cream until simmering, then pour over chopped chocolate and stir until smooth.
  8. Top each cupcake with warm ganache and refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving.
