Some believe devil’s food cupcake got its name because it was so tempting; other think that the deep, dark color is “devilish”. whatever its history, the cake typically made with melted butter (instead of oil )and a hefty amount of cocoa powder. This version mixes sour cream into the batter to add moistness and a subtle tang.
Ingredients
-
- Unsweetened Dutch- Process cocoa powder: 3/4 cup
-
- Hot water: 3/4 cup
-
- All purpose flour: 3 cups
-
- Baking soda: 1 tsp

- Baking powder:1 tsp

- Salt: 1 1/4 tsp

-
- Melt butter with sugar in a saucepan over medium_low heat, stirring to combine. Remove from heat, and pour into a mixing bowl. With an electric mixer on medium_low speed, beat until mixture is cooled, 4 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping sown sides of bowl as needed. Add vanilla, then cocoa mixture, and beat until combined. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the sour cream, and beating until just combine after each.
