These dark chocolate cupcakes are made with Valrhona cocoa powder and frosted with a spreadable ganache. The ganache needs plenty of time to set, so I recommend making the ganache first or just planning accordingly. I didn't have any problems with the ganache, but if you are new to making ganache you may want to make a half batch just to get the hang of it without wasting 7 oz of good chocolate.
