Chocolate Cupcakes

 1/2 cup (1 stick or 115g) unsalted butter

 2 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate

 2 large eggs, at room temperature

 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar

 2 teaspoons (10ml) McCormick vanilla extract

 1/2 cup (115g) sour cream, room temperature

 1/2 cup (42g) unsweetened cocoa powder

 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour

 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

 1 teaspoon baking powder

 1/4 teaspoon salt

 1 1/2 cups (340g) butter, at room temperature

 4 cups (500g) powdered sugar

 3/4 cup (94g) cocoa powder

 4 tablespoons (60ml) heavy whipping cream

 2 teaspoons (10ml) McCormick vanilla extract

 pinch table salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. This recipe makes 12-14


cupcakes, so prepare one pan (or maybe two) with cupcake liners.

2. Melt the butter and chocolate together in the microwave.


Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between each time.
Set aside.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment; add the
eggs, sugar, vanilla, and sour cream and whisk on medium speed until
smooth. (about 1 minute)

4. In a medium sized bowl, sift the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda,
baking powder, and salt together until thoroughly combined.

5. Add the cooled butter/chocolate to the stand mixer and whisk


until smooth, about 30 seconds.

6. Slowly add in the flour mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time with the
stand mixer on low.

7. As soon as you are done adding the flour turn the mixer off. (You
do not want to over-mix!)

8. The batter will be very thick.

9. Fill the cupcake liners 2/3 of the way full with batter. Bake for 15-
18 minutes. The center of the cupcake should spring back up if gently
pressed.

Chocolate Frosting

1. In a the bowl of an electric stand mixer, fitted with whisk


attachment whisk butter and sugar on medium-high speed until very
pale and fluffy or about five minutes.

2. Be sure to stop at least once and scrape the bowl.

3. With the mixer off, add in cocoa powder, vanilla and salt.

4. Turn mixer on low and blend for about 30 seconds.

5. One tablespoon at a time add in heavy cream.

6. Once all cream has been added and mixture is mostly combined,
turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
7. Now turn the mixer onto medium-high to high and whisk for 3-5
minutes or until mixture is lighter and fluffier. The frosting will be
shiny and seem to have many large air bubbles throughout and this is
exactly what we are going for. (You can smooth those out on the
cake if so desired.)

8. After frosting cupcakes drizzle with caramel sauce and then


sprinkle heath chips over top. Serve immediately. Cupcakes should
be served the same day they are made.

Recipe adapted from Ultimate Chocolate Cupcakes  and Whipped


Chocolate Buttercream .
I filled a pastry bag with a 9FT tip and some of this glorious chocolate
frosting. Starting at the center of the cupcake, I applied pressure then
went around in a circle, slowing moving up and piling frosting on top of
itself.

You can see how I did it here. (I used a 1M tip in the post but it is the
same technique )
When you are done drizzling caramel sauce (I used a store bought
sauce) you can sprinkle with heath chips. Heath chips can be found in
the baking isle right next to the chocolate morsels and they are buttery
toffee bits of deliciousness!
Now, these cupcakes kinda “break the rules” when it comes to
traditional chocolate cupcakes:

I highly recommend eating them COLD. Something magical happens to


this flavor combination when you snack on them right out of the fridge.
Seriously, just try it!

The messier, the better. Drizzle that caramel sauce all over, being sure
to let it drip over the sides and onto whatever surface you serve them
on. Then drop the heath chips over top… they will bounce and fall
everywhere and that is not only OK, it’s Fabulous.

Hope you love these as much as I do!
