How to Make Dark Stormy Cupcakes

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
  6. Fill the cupcake liners about ⅔ full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting (recipe not included in this example, please add your own!).
  10. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously and enjoy!
