Easy Chocolate Cupcakes
Serves 12

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar (aku kurangin jadi 200 gr ajah, takut kemanisan)
3 large eggs (aku pake 4 butir telur ukuran sedang)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream (aku subtitute ama 1/2 cup plain yoghurt)
Easy White Icing*
Sprinkles (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together cocoa, flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add the flour mixture alternating with sour cream, starting and ending with the flour mixture.
3. Divide batter among cups, filling each 3/4 full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
