Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a bowl, whisk egg and sugar until smooth and no lumps remain. Add milk, cream and vanilla, and mix until combined.

Stir in sour cream.

Sift dry ingredients together and add to wet mixture. Mix until batter is smooth.

Add in melted butter and stir until smooth.

Fold in chocolate chips. Line a muffin tin with liners and using a 1/4 cup measure, add batter to each cup. Bake for 15-18 minutes.

Let cool before frosting.

Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth.

Add in vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time and add cocoa powder, increasing the speed to mix.

Add in melted chocolate. If the frosting it a bit too thick, add milk 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

If it is too thin, add additional sugar gradually. Frost cupcakes once cooled.

Top with chocolate sprinkles, shaved chocolate, chocolate bars, etc.
