Cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Sift together the dry ingredients and set aside.
In the mixer, combing canola oil, coffee, half-n-half, vanilla and sour cream. Mix on low 30 seconds. Slowly add in dry mixture and mix on low until incorporated. Add in eggs, one at a time, and mix just until combined.
Lightly spray the cupcake liners with cooking spray to help them release. Pour the batter into lined cupcake tins 2/3 of the way full.
Bake 10-13 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
Frosting:
Put butter in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Sift in cocoa powder and powdered sugar, mixing, taking care not to leave lumps. Add vanilla. Mix.
In a different bowl, mix together Ovaltine and heavy cream well. Slowly add to butter mixture. Beat on high for 1-2 minutes, or until frosting slightly lightens in color. Pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
