Dig Into Deliciously Moist Homemade Dark Chocolate Cupcakes

Preheat The Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Mix Wet Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla until smooth.

Combine Ingredients

Pour half of the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, followed by half of the buttermilk.

Fill Cupcake Liners

Pour or spoon the batter into the liners, filling them only halfway to prevent overflow during baking.

Bake

Bake for 18-21 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.

Serve

You can top these cupcakes with your favorite frosting, such as chocolate buttercream or peanut butter frosting for an extra treat!
