Ingredients
For the cupcakes:

- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature

For the frosting:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions
To make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until each is fully incorporated. Beat in the vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
