Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar. 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1 1/2 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1/2 tsp salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted. 2 large eggs. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 cup sour cream. 1/2 cup hot water. 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped. 2 tbsp fresh lime juice. 2 tbsp rum. 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips for garnish. Fresh mint sprigs for garnish. Lime zest for garnish. Powdered sugar for garnish.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined. Stir in the sour cream, followed by the hot water. Mix until the batter is smooth. Fold in the chopped mint leaves, lime juice, and rum. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cupcakes are cool, prepare a mojito glaze by mixing powdered sugar and lime juice until you achieve a thick glaze consistency. Drizzle the mojito glaze over the cooled cupcakes. Garnish each cupcake with mini chocolate chips, fresh mint sprigs, and lime zest. Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Mojito Cupcakes!
