How to make gluten free chocolate cupcakes with white chocolate chips:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cupcake tins with paper liners.
Using an electric mixer beat the butter in a large bowl until creamy. Add the sugar and eggs; beat until lightened in color. Add the cocoa, baking soda, vanilla extract and salt; mix well. Beat in the flour in 3 additions alternately with the sour cream, begin and end with flour.
Add the hot water at the end and mix until a smooth thin batter forms. Finally add the white chocolate chips or white Lacasitos and fill the cupcake liners about 3/4 full. Bake the cupcakes for 15-20 minutes, or until the cupcakes spring back when pressed in their centers. Let cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
Make the buttercream as I explain here (make double of quantity). This time I have not used any edible coloring, only 2 teaspoons of vanilla paste to give flavor.
Once we have the buttercream and the muffins cold, decorate with a pastry sleeve, using a big open star nozzle, and place an ounce of chocolate on the top to decorate.
