Double Trouble Chocolate Cupcakes

double trouble chocolate cupcake

Today is my BF`s 26th birthday, and at his job it`s common to bring something sweet to work on their birthdays. So yesterday was filled up with cupcakes all over the place. I made like three batches of cupcakes and I also started on a Raspberry mousse cake that`ll be the birthday cake here at home. One of the cupcake recipes I made was this super delicious Double Trouble Chocolate Cupcakes. They contain chocolate in both the batter and the frosting. It`s such a treat, so I hope the people at BF`s work enjoy them!

Double Trouble Chocolate Cupcakes

1.5 stick of butter (room temperature)

4-5 tbsp. sour cream/yoghurt

2 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. cocoa

Instructions
Turn the oven on 390 F.
In a small bowl, add chocolate and cocoa. Heat up water and pour it over. Stir well, and make sure all of the chocolate is melted. Let cool off. Mix sugar and butter until it gets light and fluffy. Add one egg at a time. Add flour and baking powder. Mix gently. Now add the chocolate mixture and the sour cream /yoghurt. Mix gently.
Fill the cupcake tin about 2/3 in each. Bake in the oven for 13 minutes.

    • as I named them, they really are double trouble. so much chocolate, so much goodness. WOW! I wish I had the same will power as you! I think the only way I could manage to stay away from sweets was if someone paid me money for it 😛

    • hahaha, me too. And it`s really dangerous for me, because I still have a lot of these in my fridge, and it`s getting close to dinner time here in Norway, so I better go eat some decent food before I start robbing the fridge to devour them all! 😉

  3. I need to make something Norwegian for my class, these look amazing, but I was just wondering if they are “Norwegian” or not.
