PERFECT GLUTEN FREE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES | WHIPPED GANACHE FROSTING

Steps:

• In a small, heavy-bottom saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream until it just begins to simmer.
• Place the chopped chocolate in a medium-size bowl, and pour the hot cream over the chocolate.
• Allow the cream to sit on the chocolate for about a minute, until the chocolate begins to melt, and mix until the chocolate is melted, and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
• Allow the ganache to cool at room temperature until firm enough to scoop with a spoon.
• Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line the wells of a standard 12-cup muffin tin and set it aside.
• In a large bowl, place the flour, xanthan gum, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar, and whisk to combine well.
• Create a well in the center, and add the oil, eggs, and water (or milk), and whisk to combine well. The batter should be smooth and relatively thin.
• Fill the prepared wells of the cupcake tin about 2/3 of the way full and shake back and forth to distribute the batter evenly in each well.
• Place the tin in the center of the preheated oven, and bake for about 19 minutes, or until the cupcakes spring back when pressed lightly in the center.
• Remove from the oven and allow to sit in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Right before you're ready to frost the cupcakes, transfer the cooled chocolate ganache to a large bowl and beat with a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until thickened and fluffy.
• The ganache will also lighten in color. If it seems to be at all crumbly or not smooth, add more heavy whipping cream by the teaspoonful and beat to combine.
• Frost only those cupcakes you plan to serve immediately.
• Freeze any leftover cupcakes, unfrosted, in a sealed freezer-safe container. Defrost at room temperature, then frost and serve.
