Servings: persons

1 (12-oz.) package dark chocolate morsels
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (8-oz.) container sour cream
Garnish: chocolate shavings

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0. Microwave dark chocolate morsels at HIGH 1 1/2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring at 30-second intervals.
2
Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
3
Combine flour and next 3 ingredients. Gradually add to butter mixture alternately with sour cream, beating until blended. Stir melted chocolate into batter. (Batter will be very thick.) Spoon batter by rounded tablespoonfuls into lightly greased miniature muffin pans.
4
Bake at 350u00b0 for 11 to 13 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 5 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks, and cool completely (about 30 minutes). Spread cupcakes with Double Shot Latte Buttercream. Garnish, if desired.

Note: To prepare regular-size cupcakes, spoon batter into 2 lightly greased 12-cup muffin pans, filling two-thirds full. Bake at 350u00b0 for 22 to 24 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool and decorate as desired. Makes 2 dozen.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
