Ready to indulge in some delicious chocolate cupcakes? Let’s whip up that batter!

Start by sifting together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In the bowl of a stand mixer or using a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, combine the sugar and oil. Mix them on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Next, add in the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing well and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Then, beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix thoroughly after each addition.

Now, it’s time to bring it all together! Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with ¾ cup of boiling water, mixing just until everything is combined. Don’t forget to scrape the sides of the bowl as needed!

Spoon the batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each one just slightly over halfway.

Tip: If you have any leftover batter, feel free to whip up some classic chocolate cupcakes! Just remember not to overfill the liners, or you might end up with cupcakes overflowing their edges.

Place a piece of broken Hershey’s bar into the center of each cupcake’s chocolate batter for a delicious surprise!
