Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 F.
Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in the eggs.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water and allow it to cool.
Stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cocoa. Add the vanilla to the buttermilk.
Add the cooled, melted chocolate to the egg and butter mix. Then alternately mix in the dry ingredients and the buttermilk.
Add cupcake papers into muffin tins and fill them slightly more than halfway with the batter. This should yield between 18-30 cupcakes depending on the size of your tins.
Put in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
After they have cool, frost with butter cream and decorate as you wish.
