Here’s another cupcake recipe for you and it also comes from Southern Living. This one is different from the basic white cupcake. This recipe calls for a whole 16 oz. container of sour cream. When you mix this batter up make sure you mix it with a good mixer. That entire container of sour cream makes this batter very thick and creamy. The consistency resembles a thick mousse. The other interesting thing about this cupcake recipe is that it uses a German chocolate cake. Finally, you top these moist morsels with a chocolate buttercream. This buttercream doesn’t get it’s chocolate flavor from cocoa powder, it uses melted dark chocolate morsels. Now I didn’t have any dark chocolate morsels in my house so I used semi-sweet chocolate chips in it’s place. One tip for the frosting, when you add the chocolate, mix it in a spoonful at a time. This way you won’t melt the butter and cream cheese. Again, I am just providing the links to Southern Living for the recipes which is found on MyRecipes.com.
Great job on the swirled frosting! It looks bakery perfect!
