     Yield: 12 servings

 1 1/4 c  A-P flour
 1 1/4 c  Sugar
   1/3 c  Baking cocoa
   1/2 ts Baking soda
   1/2 ts Salt
   1/2 c  Buttermilk
     1 lg Egg; room temp
   1/4 c  Oil
     1 ts Vanilla extract
   2/3 c  Hot brewed coffee

MMMMM---------------------STRAWBERRY FILLING--------------------------
   1/2 c  Freeze-dried strawberries
   1/4 c  Unsalted butter; softened
     1 c  Confectioners' sugar
     1 tb Heavy whipping cream
   1/4 ts Vanilla extract
   1/8 ts Salt

MMMMM--------------------------GANACHE-------------------------------
   1/2 c  Heavy whipping cream
   1/2 c  Semisweet chocolate chips
     3    Fresh strawberries; opt

 Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

 Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. Sift flour,
 sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt together twice; place
 in a large bowl.

 In a small bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, oil and vanilla
 until smooth. Add to flour mixture. Drizzle in hot
 coffee, beating until smooth.

 Fill prepared cups three-fourths full. Bake until a
 toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 18-20
 minutes. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire
 racks to cool completely.

 Place freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor;
 process until a fine powder. In a large bowl, beat
 butter until creamy. Beat in confectioners’ sugar,
 cream, vanilla, salt and strawberry powder until smooth.
 Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry bag; insert a
 very small tip. Fill with strawberry filling. Push the
 tip through the bottom of paper liner to fill each
 cupcake.

 Place chocolate in a small bowl. In a small saucepan,
 bring cream just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; let
 stand 2 minutes. Stir with a whisk until smooth. Dip
 tops of cupcakes in ganache, let stand until set. If
 desired, garnish tops with slices of fresh strawberries.
