How to Make Wet Chocolate Cake Cupcakes

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and hot coffee.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fill the cupcake liners about ¾ full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting and enjoy!
