Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup hot coffee
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (for frosting)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Mix into dry ingredients until just combined.
  4. Stir in hot coffee until smooth. Batter will be thin.
  5. Fill liners 2/3 full and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  7. For frosting, beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and a splash of vanilla. Beat until fluffy.
  8. Frost completely cooled cupcakes and top with sprinkles or chocolate curls.

Notes

  • Don’t skip the coffee—it boosts chocolate flavor.
  • Let cupcakes cool fully before frosting to avoid melting.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for best taste.
  • Store in an airtight container to retain moisture.
