* Cook Time: 1 hr 0 min
* Level: Easy
* Yield: 36 cupcakes
Ingredients
Cupcake:
* 8 ounces sour cream
* 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 2 1/4 cups sugar
* 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup strong brewed coffee
* 1 cup vegetable oil
* 3 large eggs
Chocolate Fudge Frosting:
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 cup heavy whipping cream
* 5 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
* 10 tablespoons butter
* 1 cup confectioners' sugar
Topping:
* 30 to 40 chocolate sandwich cookies
* 36 gummy worms
Directions
For the cupcake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 3 cupcake pans with cupcake liners. In a
large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Beat at medium speed with an electric
mixer until smooth. Pour into cupcake liners about 2/3 full. Bake for 16 to 18
minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in
pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks.
For the frosting:
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and cream. Bring to a boil over medium-high
heat; reduce heat, and simmer for 6 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from
heat; add chocolate and butter, stirring until melted and smooth. Let cool for
10 minutes. Whisk in confectioners' sugar. Let mixture cool until it reaches a
spreadable consistency, then top cooled cupcakes with frosting.
For the topping:
Place cookies into a resealable plastic bag. Crush cookies with hands to make a
"dirt" consistency. Sprinkle frosting with cookie crumbs, top with gummy worm
and enjoy.
