Ingredients
To make these cupcakes, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Buttercream frosting
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
To make the cupcakes, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with butter or cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter and sugar until combined. Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract. Next, stir in the cocoa powder and buttermilk. Finally, fold in the flour mixture until just combined.
Fill each muffin cup about halfway with batter. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips on top of the batter. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcakes comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, prepare the buttercream frosting. Pipe the frosting onto each cupcake in a swirl pattern, starting from the outside and working your way in. Top the cupcakes with sprinkles, if desired.
