Chocolate Sour Cream Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting and The Bahia Shrine Circus

This is a great old fashioned sour cream chocolate cake. I paired it with a simple chocolate buttercream frosting. I found this recipe on the back of the Swan’s Down flour box. I tried this cake once before, and under baked it. This time though, I baked it to perfection, and it is one of the best cakes I’ve had. The sweetness from the brown sugar and the melted chocolate is such a great contrast to the sour cream in the cake. I used Giradelli chocolate for the cake so it made it extra special. This is another cupcake I made for our charity bakesale. I made one other cupcake, Alton Brown’s chiffon cupcakes, but we didn’t quite care for them. They are less like moist cake (what we like in a cupcake) and more like a sponge cake. And yes this is the last cupcake recipe for quite a while! Believe me, we are all over the cupcakes at our house too.(...)Read the rest of Chocolate Sour Cream Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting and The Bahia Shrine Circus (524 words)
