In reply to Emily. Hi Emily! So happy you loved it. The recipe as-is will work as cupcakes. You just need to reduce the baking time. Start checking at 15mins or so. The recipe should make 18-24 depending on size.

Hi Karen! Baking temperature should stay the same. Baking time is hard to say as every oven bakes differently. It will be shorter though. Here are my tips for testing if a cake is done:
1. Peek through the oven window. To see if the cakes are a nice golden brown (doesn’t really work for chocolate cakes).
2. Nudge the oven. Gently nudge your oven (assuming it’s free-standing and not built-in). If there is any jiggle in the center of the cakes, leave the oven door closed and bake for a few minutes longer.
3. Nudge the pans. Open the oven and gently nudge the pans. If there is any jiggle in the center of the cakes, close the oven door and bake for a few minutes longer.
4. Poke the cake. Gently poke the top of the cake with your finger. If the cake is firm and springs back, it’s ready for the next step.
5. Toothpick test. Insert a toothpick into the middle of the cake. When there are a few crumbs on the toothpick, the cake is ready. You want crumbs on there because the cake keeps cooking when you take it out of the oven.

I let everyone in the family pick a cake for their birthday. My daughter chose this cake and I truly believe it is the best cake I’ve ever had! I was doubtful when making it because I felt the ganache would overpower the other flavors, but it was perfect. We have been talking about how good this was since Saturday! Will probably be making it every year!

This is always a winner when I bake it. How many cupcakes would the recipe make ?
