For
her birthday Ana requested her favourite chocolate cupcakes. This is the best
recipe I’ve tried so far! The cake part is rich and the frosting is buttery
sweet and easy to work with.

cup (52gr) unsalted room temperature butter

ounces (56gr) dark chocolate

tsp baking soda

Proces

the oven to 175°.
Mix sugar and butter until combined, it
should look like wet sand in the end.
Melt the chocolate and let cool until
finger warm then add it to the sugar and butter mixture and combine.
Mix in the eggs and the yolks one at the
time until just combined.
Mix in oil, vanilla and sour cream until
just combined.
Sift together flour, salt, baking powder
and cocoa powder then mix with the fork. Add to wet mixture in three additions
mixing until just combined.
