Plain flour (all purpose) 2 cups


2. White sugar 1 2/3 cups

3. Salt 1/4 tsp

4. White chocolate 125 grams or 4 oz

5. Water 1/2 cup

6. Butter 125g or 1/2 cup

7. Sour cream, (at room temperature) 1 cup


8. Vanilla extract 1 tsp


9. Baking soda 1 1/2


10. Eggs 2

Instruction

1. Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F).

2. Line 2 12 capacity muffin trays with cupcake liners.

3. In mixer, combine flour, sugar and salt.

4. Melt chocolate with butter and water. Allow to cool slightly.

5. Add melted chocolate mixture to flour mixture and mix lightly.

6. Add sour cream, vanilla, baking soda and eggs and beat for 2 minutes.

7. Divide batter evenly into cupcake liners and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

8. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.

Tips

* Make sure that you fill the cupcake liners only half way as the cupcakes rise a lot during baking. Otherwise you will get the cupcakes overflowing and even worse they will sink in the middle. What you will get if you fill half way is a really nice flat cupcake surface which is perfect if you like decorating you cupcakes with fondant.
