Saturday was my best friends birthday, so I figured that would be a good excuse for baking some cupcakes. I found the recipe I used a lot of time ago on dinner with danielle and I have used it for chocolate cupcakes ever since. It’s just wonderfully moist and still not too dense.
Well I can’t say a lot more about those. They’re just solid delicous! Try them out for yourself…
Chocolate Cupcakes
batter recipe adapted from dinner with danielle
Ingredients
for about 24 cupcakes
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
12 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
4 eggs
Preheat oven to 350°. Mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer beat butter until and gradually add brown sugar until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time. When nicely mixed start with adding the flour mixture bit by bit, alternating with the buttermilk. Divide mixture between lined cupcake pans and bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack and frost with white chocolate cream cheese frosting or any other frosting you prefer.
