Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
- Whisk together the cake flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk together the buttermilk, coffee, oil, eggs and vanilla in a separate bowl.
- Pour half of the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and beat on low speed just until combined. Scrape down the bowl then add the remaining wet ingredients and beat to combine. Scrape down the bowl and paddle. Increase the speed to medium and beat for a full minute.

Reduce the speed to low, drizzle in the melted chocolate and beat until completely blended. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla. Increase the speed to high and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Tips:
- Use good quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. A higher percentage of cocoa solids will result in a richer, more intense chocolate flavor.
- Measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for baking, as even small changes in ingredient amounts can affect the outcome of your cupcakes.
- Preheat your oven before you start baking. This will help ensure that your cupcakes bake evenly.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense cupcakes.
- Fill cupcake liners only 2/3 full. This will allow the cupcakes to rise properly without overflowing.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
