Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Vanilla frosting
- Chocolate frosting
- Black gel icing
- Sprinkles (optional)
- Hershey kisses
- Gimbal’s assorted jelly beans
- Red & yellow food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners.
- Into a medium bowl, sift together cocoa, flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each, then beat in vanilla. With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with sour cream and beginning and ending with flour.
- Pour batter into cups, filling each 3/4 full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Cool in pan 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, then spread with chocolate frosting using a table knife or small offset spatula.
- Stir a drop of yellow and a drop of red food coloring into the vanilla frosting, setting aside a tablespoon that will not be dyed. Once fully combined, dip the tips of each Hershey kiss into the now orange frosting to form the turkey’s nose. Next, using a toothpick, dot two eyes onto the Hershey kiss using the remaining undyed frosting to form the eyes. Finally, add two dots atop the white eye circles using the black gel icing.
- Add Gimbal’s gourmet jelly beans to form the turkey’s feathers as desired and enjoy!
