Author Notes
This recipe is a bit adapted from WinneAb’s Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Chocolate Sour Cream Frosting. I expend a combine of all-reason and total-wheat flour, and I swap out among the white sugar for brown sugar and maple syrup. A pair guidelines: First, guarantee your bitter cream is at room temperature in case you combine it with the melted chocolate (otherwise, the chocolate will take into clumps). Second, if you happen to capture to hope to wrap and transport your cake, expend toothpicks to originate a sturdy aluminum foil tent. You keep no longer desire to discontinuance up with a bare cake and closely frosted foil. —Sarah Jampel
