5. Preparation Instructions:

2. Combine wet and dry ingredients gradually. Bake in lined muffin tins at 350°F for 18-20 minutes. Cool completely.
3. Make pastry cream: Combine cornstarch, sugar, and cold milk. Heat remaining milk, whisk in slurry until thickened. Stir in vanilla and chill.
4. Make ganache: Heat cream, pour over chopped chocolate, whisk until smooth. Optionally add corn syrup.
5. Fill cooled cupcakes with pastry cream using piping bag or knife. Glaze with ganache and let set.
Notes
Use cake flour for a tender crumb. Use high-quality vanilla extract. Adjust chocolate type for desired sweetness in ganache. A 1:1 chocolate to cream ratio makes a thicker ganache.
