Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 5 egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups dark chocolate (broken into pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and sugars.
  3. In another bowl, combine melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk; whisk briefly.
  4. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Spoon the batter into cupcake liners (about two-thirds full) and bake for 18–20 minutes or until cooked through. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. For the frosting: Heat egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar over simmering water until dissolved. Whisk until fluffy.
  7. Pipe the frosting onto cooled cupcakes and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Melt chocolate with oil in a microwave-safe bowl; dip each cupcake upside down into the chocolate coating. Allow excess to drip off and let set in the refrigerator.
