  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk

  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • Pinch of salt (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  2. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Beat the melted butter with the granulated and brown sugar in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually combine the dry mixture with the wet mixture, alternating with milk and hot coffee.
  6. Fill the cupcake liners about two-thirds full with batter.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Frost with beat softened butter, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth, then add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt.
  9. Garnish with chocolate shavings, mini chocolate chips, or white chocolate curls if desired.

Notes

Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting to prevent melting. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
