Chocolate cupcakes with pears, sour cream

A wonderful combination of delicate chocolate dough on sour cream and fragrant pears. The dough is easy to prepare: mix softened butter with sugar and sour cream, then add eggs, melted chocolate and flour with baking powder - and you can bake. Cupcakes are light, airy, and pears perfectly complement the taste.

• Sour cream - 150 g
• Chocolate - 100 g + for decoration
• Eggs - 2 pcs.
• Sugar - 100 g
• Flour - 130-160 g (1 cup with a capacity of 250 ml or a little less)
• Baking powder - 2 teaspoons

Directions

1. We prepare the necessary products.
2. We take the butter out of the refrigerator in advance so that it softens by the right time.
