Ingredients

For the cupcakes:

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, melted and cooled
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup buttermilk

For the frosting:

¾ cup butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
½ cup cocoa powder
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat together the melted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the buttermilk and mixing until everything is just combined.

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the frosting, beat the butter in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and heavy cream and mix until everything is combined. Beat for 3 minutes, or until the frosting is light and fluffy.

Spread the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes. Enjoy!
