Chocolate Cupcakes With Tropolite

Step 1

For the Cupcake: 

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners. 
2. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. 
3. In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). 
4. Add in eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. 
5. Beat in vanilla extract and sour cream until combined. 
6. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients mixing on low speed until just combined. 
7. Do not overmix! Fill muffin liners with batter about 2/3 full. 
8. Bake for 15 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cupcake. 
9. Cool completely before frosting.

OR as mentioned above, if you want to do it the easy way without compromising on quality and taste, you can use Tropolite’s chocolate cake premix and follow the easy instructions mentioned on the box.
