Decadent Devil's Food Cupcakes


Since we're all snowed in, I decided to do a little baking today. 
Here's the recipe I use for devil's food cupcakes and frosting.
Enjoy!

What you will need: 
 Cupcakes
8 tbsp (1 stick) softened butter (or margarine)
4 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup brown sugar (generously packed!)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Frosting
9 oz semisweet chocolate chips
6 tbsp sugar
1 1/3 cup sour cream

Yep, that's it!

 Combine softened butter, eggs & sour cream; then add the dry ingredients.
Makes 24 cupcakes 2/3-3/4 full OR 36 cupcakes 1/2 full.

 They should come out looking beautiful, like this... ;-)

While the cupcakes bake, make your frosting.
Remove cupcakes from pan & cool on rack until room temperature.
Frost by dropping a dollop onto each cupcake. 
You can garnish/top with shaved chocolate before serving if you like.
Store in refrigerator.
Bon appetit!
