For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the cupcake batter. Be sure to use room temperature ingredients for the frosting to ensure a smooth and creamy texture. If you don't have sour cream, you can substitute plain yogurt. The cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
