Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350° F (180° C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
2. Add the cocoa, espresso powder and chopped chocolate to a large bowl. Pour over the boiling water, cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir together until smooth.
3. In a small bowl, stir together flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside.
4. Add sugar, oil, sour cream, eggs and vanilla extract to chocolate mixture and whisk until thoroughly combined.
5. Add flour mixture and stir until incorporated. The batter will be thin.
6. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs. Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
7. To make the whipped ganache frosting, heat cream to boil then pour over chocolate. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth. (It the chocolate has not completely melted, microwave 10 seconds then stir, repeat until chocolate is melted.) Cover mixture and refrigerate for 1 hour or until a thick pudding consistency. Using an electric mixer, whip the cooled ganache on medium speed until light and fluffy (1-2 minutes). Don’t overwhip or frosting may look grainy.
