Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Prepare a cupcake pan by lining it with paper liners.
Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil and sugar.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
Incorporate the vanilla extract and sour cream.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients gradually, mixing until just combined.
Add the hot water and stir until the batter is smooth.
Fill each prepared cupcake cup about two-thirds full with batter.
Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cupcakes are cooling, make the chocolate pudding according to package directions and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
Incorporate the chilled chocolate pudding until thoroughly combined.
Frost each cupcake with the chocolate cream mixture, using a piping bag or a knife.
