1/2 cup hot coffee
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
Chocolate Bourbon Ganache, recipe follows
Chocolate Buttercream Frosting, recipe follows
Pecan Praline Cookie, recipe follows
1 cup salted butter
4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons bourbon
6 tablespoons heavy cream
6 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a regular-size cupcake pan with 12 cupcake liners.
  • Combine the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, milk, coffee, vegetable oil, vanilla and egg in a large bowl. Beat until smooth. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely.
  • To assemble: Poke a hole into each cupcake with the handle of a wooden spoon. Fill the cupcakes with about 1 teaspoon Chocolate Bourbon Ganache. Generously frost the top of each cupcake with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. Place 2 pieces of Pecan Praline Cookie in the top of each cupcake.
  • Beat the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until incorporated. Mix in the cocoa. Add the milk and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy. Put the frosting into a pastry bag and cut 1/2-inch off the tip.
  • Place the semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof glass bowl. Add the heavy whipping cream, place in the microwave and melt in 30 second intervals until completely melted. Using a hand whisk, whip the melted chocolate and cream until smooth. Add the bourbon. Put the ganache in a pastry bag.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Place the heavy cream, granulated sugar and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
