Ingredients
1/2 cup cocoa
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup plus 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
 
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together cocoa and boiling water until blended and smooth; cool. Beat butter at medium speed wtih an electric mixer until creamy, gradually add sugar, beating well, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition.
Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; add to butter mixture alternately with cocoa mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Spoon batter into paper-lined muffin pans, filling each cup two-thirds full. Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Cool completely on wire racks.
Insert a round metal tip into a large decorating bag; fill with 1 cup cooled Chocolate Ganache. Insert metal tip 1 inch into top of cupcake; squeeze about 1 tablespoon filling into cupcake. Repeat process with remaining cupcakes. Place remaining ganache in squeeze bottle; set aside. Spread Peanut Butter Buttercream Frosting onto cupcakes. Drizzle each cupcake with reserved ganache.
CHOCOLATE GANACHE - Place 1 cup heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat, and bring just to a boil, remove from heat. Place 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped in a bowl. Gradually add hot cream to the chocolate, whisking until melted and smooth. Mixture will thicken as it cools. PEANUT BUTTER BUTTERCREAM FROSTING - Beat 1/2 cup butter, softened and 1 cup creamy peanut butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar; beat at low speed until blended. Add 1/3 to 1/2 cup heavy cream and 2 additional cups powdered sugar; beat at low speed until blended.
