Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 2 cups butter (cold)
  • 10 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • Green gel food coloring

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine vegetable oil, sour cream, heavy cream, and eggs, whisking until smooth. Add the chocolate cake mix and cocoa powder; mix until just combined.
  2. Line a cupcake pan with liners and fill each liner two-thirds full with batter. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. For the frosting, beat cold butter in another bowl until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar while mixing on low speed. Incorporate vanilla extract and heavy cream until smooth, then add salt and green gel food coloring to achieve your desired shade.
  4. Using a piping bag fitted with an M tip, pipe frosting onto cooled cupcakes in a spiral motion to create tree shapes. Top with golden star sprinkles and festive decorations.
