Dark Chocolate Cupcakes is one of the most well liked of current trending foods in the world. It is easy, it is quick, it tastes yummy. It’s appreciated by millions every day. Dark Chocolate Cupcakes is something which I have loved my entire life. They are nice and they look wonderful.

To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can have dark chocolate cupcakes using 12 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Dark Chocolate Cupcakes:

1. Make ready All purpose flour
2. Take Natural unsweetened cocoa powder
3. Take Baking soda
4. Prepare Salt (omit if using salted butter)
5. Get Butter, room temperature
6. Prepare Oil
7. Get White sugar
8. Make ready Eggs, room temperature
9. Get Vanilla extract
10. Take Milk (I used soured creamline milk, but buttermilk works as well or sour cream/milk or milk with 1/4tsp lemon juice or vinegar)
11. Take Hot water
12. Prepare Instant coffee granules

Instructions to make Dark Chocolate Cupcakes:

1. Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Prepare the muffin pans accordingly.
2. In a separate bowl, add the flour, soda, salt, and cocoa and mix well with a whisk.
3. Cream softened butter with sugar. The mixture won't quite come together like normal but once your done, it should look something similar to clumpy wet sand (exactly what you want to think of when you make cupcakes).
4. Add the eggs and oil to the butter mixture, making sure to mix thoroughly and scraping the bowl after each addition. Add the vanilla.
5. Alternate dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, only mixing until just combined. You should start and end with the flour.
6. In a separate cup, dissolve the coffee in the hot water. Add it to the batter, mixing on low speed until just combined. If you want a mellower chocolate taste, the coffee can be omitted or you can play around with the amounts. Just be careful about adding more as it can make the cupcakes bitter.
7. Scoop into cups and bake for 15 min. If they need more time, drop the oven temperature to 350F/180C. Cupcakes are done when a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. As opposed to some other cupcakes, these are a bit more forgiving if over baked.
8. Let cool on a wire rack and then top accordingly. Pictured are chocolate cupcakes with raspberry purée inside and topped with a ganache. I also made a creamy peanut butter buttercream.
