- Make cupcakes. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare cupcake pans with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat sugar and oil with an electric mixer until combined.
- Add eggs one at a time and mix well after each addition. Add vanilla and mix well.
- Add flour mixture alternately with sour cream, mixing until just combined. Divide batter among prepared pans, filling each cavity about 1/2 full.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool cupcakes in pans for 5 minutes then remove to a cooling rack and cool completely before frosting.
- Make buttercream. In a large bowl, beat shortening and butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add sugar and cocoa powder, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. Icing will appear dry.
- Slowly add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.
