Zebra cupcakes with sour cream

The name speaks for itself: striped muffins with a fancy pattern made of light and dark dough look interesting in section. Vanilla and chocolate flavors go well together. Making such a beauty is not much more difficult than pouring dough of the same color into molds. The recipe has been tested - the aromatic, airy dough is perfectly baked and rises. Even novice cooks will have no problems!
