Let’s get to the fun part – making these delicious cupcakes! Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Make the Cupcakes

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two cupcake pans with cupcake liners.

In a large bowl, whisk together the Devil’s Food Cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, brewed coffee, and Kahlúa until well combined.

Fill each cupcake liner about ¾ full with batter.

Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Let the cupcakes cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Ganache Filling

Place the chocolate chips in a medium heat-safe bowl.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to bubble around the edges. Do not boil.

Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.

Add the Kahlúa and a pinch of salt to the chocolate and cream mixture. Whisk until smooth and glossy.

Refrigerate the ganache while you make the frosting. This will allow it to thicken slightly.

Step 3: Make the Frosting

In a large bowl, using a hand mixer (or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), beat the softened butter until light and fluffy.

Gradually add about half of the powdered sugar, along with the cocoa powder and salt. Beat until no lumps remain.

Add the heavy cream, Kahlúa, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.

Add the remaining powdered sugar and beat until combined. If the frosting is too thick, add a little more heavy cream, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Transfer the frosting to a large piping bag fitted with a large, open-star tip.

Step 4: Assemble the Cupcakes

Once the cupcakes are completely cool, use a teaspoon or a small scoop to scoop out a small well from the center of each cupcake.

Spoon the chilled Kahlúa ganache into the wells of the cupcakes, filling them generously.

Pipe the frosting onto the top of each cupcake, creating a decorative swirl.

Garnish with chocolate sprinkles and gold sprinkles.

Serve and enjoy!
