Dark Chocolate Ganache Strawberry Yogurt Cupcakes
What is unusual about these dark chocolate ganache strawberry yogurt cupcakes? They don’t contain flour! Yes, the batter is made from yogurt, sugar, eggs, oil, baking powder, salt and vanilla extract. The resulting cupcakes are slightly heavier and thicker than the standard flour-filled treats, but they are slightly more good for you – until, that is, you add the frosting. A dark chocolate ganache and some sliced strawberries add just the right touch of sweetness.

Zebra Cupcakes
Although Zebra Cupcakes sound complicated, they are far simpler to make than you would think. When filling the cupcake tins or pan liners, simply alternate between a simple vanilla cake batter and a deep, dark chocolate one. Keep them in separate pans, and fill the tins by alternating between spoonfuls of each until they are ready to go into the oven. You will end up with an almost-marbled cake.The frosting on these beauties consists of homemade vanilla buttercream topped with zebra-striped sugar sheets to add to the effect.
