Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. For the cake, mix butter, water, oil and cocoa in a medium saucepan.
  2. Cook until butter is melted, stirring constantly.
  3. Remove saucepan from heat.
  4. Add some of the cooked mixture to the beaten eggs to temper the eggs, then stir it into the saucepan mixture.
  5. Immediately beat in the sugar.
  6. Mix flour and baking soda together, adding the flour mixture to saucepan alternately with the sour cream, whisking ingredients together well.
  7. Line muffin tins with cupcake liners, and fill them 2/3 full of cake batter (I THINK it makes about 18 cupcakes, but it’s been several years since I’ve made these, so I’m not absolutely certain about the quantity – have 24 tins ready, just in case I’m off!)
  8. Bake at 350 degrees for 18 to 24 minutes, until they test done.
  9. Remove pans from oven and take cupcakes out of tins to cool on wire racks.
  10. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before filling and frosting.
  11. While cupcakes are baking and cooling, prepare the filling and frosting.
  12. For the filling, beat sugar, half-and-half or milk, vanilla, solid shortening, water and salt for 5 minutes…the mixture should be very light and fluffy.
  13. Beat in enough powdered sugar until the filling is a consistency that is solid enough to hold its shape when scooped onto the cupcake, and won’t run off of it.
  14. Prepare the frosting by placing the sugar, butter and milk into a medium saucepan and bringing it to a boil; boil for 1 minute.
  15. Remove pan from heat and stir in the chocolate chips, beating by hand until they are melted and frosting is thick and shiny.
  16. To assemble, have the same amount of CLEAN cupcake liners available to equal how many cupcakes you baked.
  17. Remove a cupcake from the cupcake liner it was baked in; cut the muffin in half lengthwise (side-to-side, not top to bottom).
  18. Place the bottom of the cupcake in a clean cupcake liner.
  19. Scoop a generous dollop of the filling over the cupcake bottom half.
  20. Frost the top half of the cupcake and place it on the filling.
  21. DONE…unless you’re into decorating the tops of your cupcakes, but these really don’t need anything else on them – they are quite rich enough!
