Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar. 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1 1/2 tsp baking powder. 1 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1 tsp salt. 2 large eggs. 3/4 cup whole milk. 1/2 cup vegetable oil. 2 tsp vanilla extract. 3/4 cup boiling water. 1 cup heavy cream. 8 oz semisweet chocolate chips. 1/4 cup unsalted butter. 1/4 cup powdered sugar. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Pink food coloring. White marshmallows. White frosting. Black food coloring. Pink sugar sprinkles.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined. Pour in the boiling water and mix until the batter is smooth. It will be thin, but that's okay. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool completely. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Let them sit for a minute, then stir until smooth to make the ganache. Dip the tops of the cooled cupcakes into the ganache, allowing it to drip down the sides. In a separate bowl, mix the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to make the white frosting. Add pink food coloring to create a light pink color. Pipe a small circle of white frosting in the center of each cupcake as the bunny tail. Cut marshmallows in half diagonally to create bunny ears. Attach them to the top of the frosting. Using black food coloring, draw bunny eyes and whiskers on each cupcake. Sprinkle pink sugar sprinkles around the bunny tail as a finishing touch.
