Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 35 minutes
Kcal: 280 kcal | Servings: 12 cupcakes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 1/2 cup toffee bits
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 1/4 cup toffee bits, for garnish

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Slowly pour in the boiling water, stirring until the batter is smooth.
6. Fold in the toffee bits.
7. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. While the cupcakes are cooling, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
11. Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl and pour the hot cream over it. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and creamy.
12. Let the ganache cool for 10-15 minutes, then spoon it over the cooled cupcakes.
13. Sprinkle with additional toffee bits for garnish.
