How to Make Buttermilk Chocolate Cupcakes

  1. **Prepare the Cupcake Batter:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the wet ingredients: buttermilk, melted unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed with an electric mixer until just combined.
  4. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat for 2 minutes, or until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
  5. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with batter.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. **Make the Frosting:** While the cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy.
  9. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating on low speed until combined.
  10. Add the cocoa powder and buttermilk. Beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  11. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost generously with the chocolate frosting.
  12. Enjoy your delicious homemade buttermilk chocolate cupcakes!
