Instructions
Chocolate Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cupcake pans with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, add in the melted butter, vegetable oil, and cocoa powder. Whisk until smooth.
- Add in the buttermilk, sour cream, and vanilla. Continue to whisk until the sour cream is incorporated.
- Whisk in the eggs until combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in cake flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir until blended.
- Pour the cocoa mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk until everything is combined and most of the lumps have disappeared.
- Fill each cupcake liner 3/4 full.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 18 – 23 minutes until done. Insert a toothpick or skewer in the center of the cupcakes in the middle of the cupcake pan, if they come out clean or with moist crumbs, they’re done.
- Let the cupcakes cool for about 15 minutes and then turn onto a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
- In a large mixing bowl, add the butter. Mix with a hand mixer on medium until creamy.
- Add in the powdered sugar, sifted cocoa powder, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
- Beat on high until frosting a thick and creamy.
- Place the chocolate frosting in a piping bag fitted with the Wilton 1M piping tip and pipe tall swirls on each coooled cupcake.
- Sprinkle chocolate sprinkles on top of the frosted cupcakes. The frosting will crust, so quickly add the sprinkles so they will stick to the freshly piped frosting.
- Place the frosted cupcakes in an airtight container and store them at room temperature.
