How to Make Sour Cream Chocolate Cupcakes

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper baking cups.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all cupcake ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping down the sides of the bowl constantly.
  3. Increase the mixer speed to high and beat for 3 minutes, scraping down the bowl occasionally.
  4. Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about halfway.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Carefully remove the cupcakes from the muffin tin and place them on a wire rack to cool.
  7. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
  8. In a medium bowl, beat the frosting ingredients with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  9. If the frosting is too thick, add milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  10. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, generously frost them with the prepared sour cream frosting.
