Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
Mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
Beat the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth in a large bowl.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine the dry mixture with the wet mixture, alternating with the milk and hot coffee.
Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter.
Bake for 18-22 minutes; check with a toothpick for doneness.
Cool the cupcakes in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Prepare the frosting by beating the softened butter, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth.
Add the heavy cream, vanilla, and salt, then beat until fluffy.
Frost the cooled cupcakes generously with the frosting.
Garnish as desired with optional toppings.

Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and use a toothpick to check for doneness.
