Dutch-process cocoa powder has a more mellow flavor and darker color than regular cocoa powder, which works well in this recipe.

Time 1h

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-process
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
6 tablespoons buttermilk
1 large egg
1 large egg white
Light Cream-Cheese Icing
Candy decorations (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard 12-cup muffin tin (or two 6-cup muffin tins) with paper liners. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • With an electric mixer, combine cocoa and 3 tablespoons hot water until a thick paste forms (this process intensifies the chocolate flavor). Add butter, buttermilk, egg, and egg white; beat until combined. Whisk in flour mixture until smooth.
  • Scoop (or spoon) batter into prepared tin(s). Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Use an offset spatula or butter knife to spread Light Cream-Cheese Icing over tops. Decorate as desired.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less sugar in the frosting. The chocolate flavor was good, though.

I'm not a big fan of buttermilk, but these cupcakes were surprisingly good! The chocolate flavor was rich and decadent, and the buttermilk gave them a nice tangy flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.

These cupcakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added a little more buttermilk or oil to the batter. The frosting was good, though.

These cupcakes were good, but not great. The chocolate flavor was a bit too strong for my taste and the frosting was a little too sweet. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
