- In the bowl of an electric mixer combine eggs, oil, vanilla, and sour cream mix until fully combined. Add in sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Mix until fully incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour evenly into liners and bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Strawberry Frosting
- In the bowl of an electric mixer with whisk attachment whisk the cream cheese, vanilla, and granulated sugar for 3 minutes. While on medium-high speed slowly pour in the heavy cream, mix until the mixture is thick and creamy. Fold in strawberries. Using an ice cream scoop, place a large dollop of frosting on top of each cupcake.
