These chocolate cupcakes are made with cocoa powder, giving them a deep and intense chocolate flavor. The addition of coffee enhances the chocolate flavor and creates a moist, tender crumb. To give the cupcakes a light, airy texture, we use a combination of baking powder, baking soda, and salt. For sweetness, the recipe calls for both granulated sugar and light brown sugar.
No icing is needed for these delicious cupcakes, but you can dress them up by sprinkling them with powdered sugar or a dusting of cocoa powder. You can also top them with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Enjoy them as they are, or take them to the next level with a few simple toppings.
Ingredient
To make this chocolate cupcake recipe without icing, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
Instructions
To make these chocolate cupcakes without icing, begin by preheating the oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two additions, alternating with the coffee. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups, filling each one about ¾ full.
Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes
If your cupcakes are browning too quickly, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes. If you don't have coffee on hand, you can substitute with water or milk.
These cupcakes are delicious on their own, but you can also dress them up with a variety of toppings and icings. Try drizzling them with melted chocolate, sprinkling them with chopped nuts, or topping them with a dollop of whipped cream. The possibilities are endless!
