HIGH-ALTITUDE CHOCOLATE CAKE
This moist chocolate cake never collapses, something I can't say for other cakes I've baked at high altitude! This cake has been tested at 9,000 feet and always turns out fluffy and moist! Frost this delicious layer cake with cream cheese vanilla bean frosting. Bailey's® buttercream or mocha frosting are also great choices.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a cupcake pan with liners. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the cake flour, sugar, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, and salt on low speed until combined. Add the butter and buttermilk and mix on low until moistened. Raise the speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk the eggs and coffee together in a bowl, and add to the mixer in 3 additions, scraping down the bowl and beating only until blended after each addition. Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full. Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then pop them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES (HIGH ALTITUDE)
Steps:
- Heat oven at 350 degrees and line cupcake tins with paper liners and set aside
- Have two glass bowls ready, one for the dry ingredients and the other for the wet ingredients. I used a large Pyrex pour glass measuring cup for the wet ingredients.
- First bowl, sift together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. After sifted in bowl, mix well with a whisk to fully incorporate all the ingredients.
- Second bowl, combine the slightly beaten egg, buttermilk, butter, canola or veg oil and vanilla slightly mix with whisk.
- Using a hand-held mixer slowly incorporate second bowl of wet mix into the first bowl with the dry ingredients. Beat for 3 minutes at medium speed ensuring you scrape bowl at least once.
- Finally, add the hot/boiling coffee or water and beat for 1 more minute to combine, BATTER WILL BE THIN.
- Fill cupcake paper liners ONLY half-way or just a tad bit more half-way NOTHING MORE and bake until toothpick or cake tester comes out clean.
- Cool cakes in pan for 10 minutes and then transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Frost as desired and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cupcakes.
- Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking: This will help the ingredients to blend together more easily.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
- Fill the cupcake liners only about 2/3 full: This will help to prevent the cupcakes from overflowing.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cupcakes are cooked through.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.
