1 stick butter, unsalted, melted, slightly cooled
2 large eggs, plus 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
½ t salt
3 c confectioners' sugar, sifted
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 12 Silicone Cupcake Liners lightly with cooking spray; set aside.
Melt butter and add to a large mixing bowl. Add oil and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Add sugar and whisk. Add eggs and egg yolk, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to wet ingredients and lightly combine.
Whisk in apple cider vinegar and buttermilk. Fold in sour cream and stir in the food color, whisking the mixture just until combined.
Bake for 10-14 minutes. When done, toothpick inserted in center will come out clean. Allow to cool for 5 min. Remove from Liners and transfer to rack to completely cool before frosting.
In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, butter, and vanilla on medium-high speed until completely smooth, about 2 minutes.
Reduce speed to low and gradually add sifted confectioners' sugar and salt. Once all of sugar has been added, beat on high speed for 1-2 minutes.
