- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter, (at room temperature)
- 2 cups granulated white sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup milk
- 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) red food coloring
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Steps
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 cupcake tins with paper liners (24).
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine butter and sugar. Beat on medium speed for 3-4 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until incorporated before adding the next. Mix in sour cream, milk, food coloring and vanilla.
Gradually beat in flour mixture on low speed just until blended. Don't over-mix. Scoop batter into muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake 18 to 22 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Cool in pans for about 15 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting. (I like to frost these with Pipe-able Cream Cheese Frosting.)
