Step 1
1. Stir cocoa and espresso into boiling water and cool to room temperature. Once cooled, add sour cream and vanilla extract, mix well, and set aside. Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease a muffin tin with oil or line with paper liners. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, use a mixer to beat butter and sugar together. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture and beat at low speed. Add 1/3 of the chocolate mixture and beat again. Repeat with the remaining flour and chocolate mixtures, adding in two more batches. Mix thoroughly.

2. Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter into each muffin cup and bake for 15–18 minutes. Let cool completely before applying the glaze. To make the glaze, in a large bowl mix butter, sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract. Add more milk if necessary to reach desired consistency. The glaze should be thinner than regular cake frosting. Drizzle the glaze over the cupcakes.
