German Chocolate Cake is a classic American dessert that dates back to the mid-19th century. It's made with a rich chocolate cake and a sweet, nutty frosting that's traditionally made with coconut and pecans. These Filled German Chocolate Cupcakes take the concept to the next level, with a moist and chocolatey cake that's filled with a creamy chocolate and condensed milk filling. They are perfect for any celebration, from birthday parties to holiday gatherings, and are sure to impress your friends and family with their decadent flavor and beautiful appearance.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with 18 paper liners.
2.In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3.Add the milk, melted butter, eggs, and almond extract to the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth. Stir in the boiling water, then stir in the coconut and pecans.
4.Use a spoon or scoop to fill each muffin cup three-quarters full with the batter.
5.Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
6.While the cupcakes are baking, make the filling. In a saucepan set over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate pieces. Cook, stirring constantly, until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat, stir in the heavy cream, then transfer to a bowl to cool.
7.Once the cupcakes and filling are both cool, use a small knife or cupcake corer to create a well in the center of each cupcake. Spoon the chocolate filling into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip, and pipe the filling into the center of each cupcake.
8.Serve and enjoy!
