Things that make you go hmmmmmm

I decided to try this Chocolate Sourcream Cupcake recipe to make these Hi-Hat Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes.  The ingredients it called for were as followed and maybe there wasn't enough flour in the recipe or maybe I just suck at following recipes and I missed something, something very IMPORTANT for them to turn out like this. It was an awful mess to clean off and clean up in the oven, good times. 

3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 c. unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 c. sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 c. sour cream
1/2 c. milk

What they were supposed to look like at the end is this see picture below from A Cup Full of Cake. Not to mention I had the pressure of little brown eyes patiently waiting in anticipation for their very cool Hi-Hat cupcakes and for their mom to figure out how to bake. I did end up adding flour to the second batch and they did rise a little but still didn't look normal. Either way I frosted them and dipped them.  Bottom line is they could care less wha they looked like.
