Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 2.5 cups (310 g) almond flour
- 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sweetener (allulose or monk fruit sweetener)
- 0.5 cup (50 g) cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 1 cup (240 ml) chocolate frosting
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F and line a 12-count muffin tin with protective paper liners or gently grease the surface.
- Dry Ingredient Integration: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking soda, and salt using a whisk until perfectly blended.
- Batter Creation: Seamlessly fold eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredient mixture, stirring gently until a smooth, uniform batter forms with minimal lumps.
- Baking Process: Distribute the batter evenly across the muffin tin cavities, filling each section carefully to ensure consistent cupcake sizes and uniform baking.
- Baking and Cooling: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, checking doneness with a clean skewer. Remove from oven and allow cupcakes to cool completely, enabling them to set and stabilize their delicate structure.
- Finishing Touch: Once cooled, adorn each cupcake with a luxurious layer of chocolate frosting, applying either through a precise piping technique or a smooth spreading method for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Flour Precision: Sift almond flour to eliminate lumps and ensure a smooth, consistent texture in your cupcakes.
- Temperature Timing: Use room temperature eggs and sour cream for better ingredient integration and lighter cake texture.
- Moisture Check: Do not overmix batter; stir until just combined to prevent dense, tough cupcakes.
- Cooling Technique: Allow cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack to prevent soggy bottoms and maintain structural integrity.
