Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tray with liners.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
In another bowl, mix melted butter with eggs and milk until smooth. Gradually add to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Spoon the batter into each cupcake liner about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
While cooling, heat heavy cream until just boiling and pour over chocolate chips in a bowl; stir until smooth to create ganache.
Dip the tops of cooled cupcakes into ganache and place fresh strawberries on top while still wet.
