8. Using a rubber spatula fold batter until completely combined.
9. Fill cup cake liners 3/4 full and bake for 17-18 minutes. tooth pick should come out clean. Let these cool on a wire rack. Carve out a hole in the center of each cupcake for the filling

filling
1. In a saucepan, boil water.
2. in another sauce pan, heat the cream until starts to simmer.
3. Add in your chocolate chips, remove from heat, and after about a minute stir the melted chocolate until smooth.
4. If you need to get it smoother place the pot over the boiling water pot to create a double boiler.
5. Add Butter and Whiskey and mix well.
6. Thicken and slightly cool the ganache in the fridge before filling the cupcakes.

Ice and decorate your cupcakes
