Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, cocoa powder, flour, espresso powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients while stirring continuously. Then stir in boiling water until smooth.
Fill cupcake liners two-thirds full with batter and bake for about 22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
