Time 30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cake flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
2 ⅔ cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
5 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
1 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
  • Stir cocoa, all-purpose flour, cake flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together in a large bowl.
  • Beat sugar and butter together in a separate bowl until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla and peppermint extracts. Stir in dry ingredients until well mixed. Add buttermilk and stir just until moistened.
  • Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cupcakes spring back when lightly touched, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

These cupcakes are the worst thing I've ever tasted. I would not recommend them to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cupcakes didn't turn out anything like the pictures. I'm very disappointed.

These cupcakes were a disaster! They were dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too runny.

Overall, I thought these cupcakes were good, but not great. I might try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of peppermint, but I thought these cupcakes were delicious. The chocolate cake was rich and moist, and the frosting was creamy and smooth.

These cupcakes were a hit! They were so moist and flavorful, and the peppermint frosting was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making these again.
