How to Make Cinnamon Devil's Food Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, ½ cup strong brewed coffee, 1 cup buttermilk, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 2 large egg yolks, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  7. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  8. Stir in 1 cup mini chocolate chips.
  9. Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  11. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
