White Chocolate Filled Chocolate Cupcakes

Chocolate cupcakes with a creamy white chocolate centre and purple buttercream.

I had the idea for these chocolate cupcakes with the white chocolate filling months ago because I haven’t made a white chocolate filling for cupcakes before and white chocolate is totally my thing! I love it! So this recipe was long overdue.

If you prefer an all white cupcake instead of the chocolate sponge, use your favourite vanilla cupcake recipe! I guess it depends if you like chocolate as much as I (or we) do. If you do, let’s be pals!
