Instructions

Prep dry ingredients

1 Prep dry ingredients

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C (no fan).
  • Remove all butter from the fridge and allow to soften.
  • To a large bowl, sift in the flour, 15g cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, baking powder and baking soda.
  • Add the sugar and whisk well until combined. Set aside.
  • Boil the measured water and pour into a cup or jug with a spout.
  • Add the instant coffee, and mix until dissolved.
Tip! If cooking for kids, exclude the coffee and add only hot water, as preferred.
Prep wet ingredients

2 Prep wet ingredients

  • In another bowl, add the 50g butter and melt in the microwave.
  • Cool slightly, then whisk in the vegetable oil, 90g sour cream, egg and vanilla until creamy.
Combine batter

3 Combine batter

  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
  • Whisk until mostly combined, then pour in the hot coffee and mix really well.
  • The batter will be smooth with a runny consistency.
Tip! The hot coffee won't impart much flavour, but will only enhance the rich chocolate in the cake, and dissolve the sugar.
Bake

4 Bake

  • Line a muffin pan with the cupcake cases.
  • Evenly share the batter into the liners and bake in the centre rack of the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean in the centre.
  • Cool the cupcakes completely in the pan or chill in the fridge for 30 min.
Make icing

5 Make icing

  • Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in the microwave.
  • In a large bowl, using a spatula or electric beater, beat the butter until smooth.
  • Add the icing sugar, 30g cocoa powder and 60g sour cream and mix until smooth.
  • Add the melted chocolate and gently stir through to combine.
Serve

6 Serve

  • Add a spoonful of icing to each cupcake and spread towards the edges.
  • Alternatively, fill a piping bag and top each cupcake.
  • Serve the Chocolate Cupcakes with Fudgy Chocolate Icing.
Tip! Make sure to cool the cupcakes completely before attempting to frost with ganache. Otherwise it will slide right off!
