Ingredients
For the cupcakes:
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- Ingredients called for on the cake mix box (usually eggs, oil, water)
- Pink food coloring (a few drops for a soft blush)
For the white chocolate ganache filling:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
For optional decoration:
- Pink sprinkles, edible pearls, or frosting swirl
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to the temperature listed on the cake mix box (usually 350°F / 175°C).
- Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Step 2: Make the Cupcake Batter
- Prepare the vanilla cake mix according to the instructions on the box.
- Add a few drops of pink food coloring to the batter and gently swirl until the color is evenly distributed.
Step 3: Bake the Cupcakes
- Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with batter.
- Bake according to the box instructions, usually 18–22 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cupcakes cool completely before filling.
Step 4: Prepare the White Chocolate Ganache
- Place the white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes.
- Stir until smooth and creamy. Let it cool slightly until it thickens enough to fill cupcakes.
Step 5: Fill the Cupcakes
- Using a small knife or cupcake corer, remove the center of each cupcake.
- Spoon or pipe the ganache into the hollowed centers.
Step 6: Optional Decoration
- Top the cupcakes with sprinkles, pearls, or a swirl of pink buttercream for a stunning finish.
