Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cocoa butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted cocoa butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- Fill Cupcake Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake: Place the cupcake tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool Cupcakes: 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.
- Prepare Chocolate Whipped Cream: In a clean bowl, whip the heavy cream until it starts to thicken. Gradually add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Frost Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, use a piping bag to top each cupcake with chocolate whipped cream.
- Garnish: For an extra touch, you can sprinkle cocoa powder or chocolate shavings on top of the whipped cream.
