Instructions
Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy; gradually add sugar, beating well.

Add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with sour cream mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. Stir in half of chopped chocolate.
Place paper baking cups in a 12-cup muffin pan, and coat with cooking spray; spoon batter into cups, filling two-thirds full.
Bake at 350 for 18 to 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Remove from pan to a wire rack, and cool completely (about 30 minutes).
Pipe Marshmallow Frosting onto cupcakes; sprinkle with pecans and remaining chopped chocolate.
Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel
Riesling, Sparkling Wine, and Zinfandel are great choices for Southern. In general, there are a few rules that will help you pair wine with southern food. Food-friendly riesling or sparkling white wine will work with many fried foods, while zinfandel is great with barbecued fare.
Smoky aromas lead into a palate that’s incredibly silky, salty and articulate; cherry blossom and scree in ultra hi-def; a delicate nip of chile-thread on the finish doesn’t obtrude on the cool breezy complexity. I don’t remember a better vintage of this wine.
