Ingredients:

1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
3/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
90g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1/2 cup olive oil
120g
3 eggs
150g
1/2 cup buttermilk
120g
1 apple
160g
1/2 cup light sour cream
120g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1 tsp powdered sugar
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pan:
- Grease a muffin tin or line it with cupcake liners to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, all-purpose flour, dry cocoa powder, and sugar. Whisk until evenly mixed.
3. Combine the Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the olive oil, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
4. Prepare the Apple:
- Peel and finely grate the apple. Add the grated apple to the wet ingredients and stir.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the cakes dense.
6. Bake the Cakes:
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
7. Prepare the Creamy Topping:
- While the cakes are baking, prepare the cream topping by mixing the light sour cream with 1 tsp of powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Keep this in the refrigerator until ready to use.
8. Cool the Cakes:
- Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve:
- Once the cakes have cooled, top each one with a dollop of the sweetened sour cream mixture.
- Dust lightly with additional powdered sugar if desired.

Tips:

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start to ensure even mixing and better texture.

- Sift the cocoa powder and flours together to avoid lumps and ensure a smoother batter.

- Don't overmix the batter. Mix until just combined to avoid dense and tough cakes.

- When adding the apple, grate it finely to incorporate it evenly into the batter for added moisture.

- Use a toothpick to check for doneness. Insert it into the center of the cakes. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, the cakes are ready.

- Allow the cakes to cool completely before adding any additional toppings or frostings to avoid melting.

Congratulations! You've successfully made Chocolate Vanilla Cream Cakes that are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.
