Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 unit Large eggs
• 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

7. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and heavy cream together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes.
9. Gradually whisk in the powdered sugar until the icing is smooth and thick.
10. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, spread the chocolate icing on top of each cupcake.
