  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.75 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.75 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1.3333333730698 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 0.75 cup vegetable oil
  • 0.75 cup buttermilk
  • 1 (10 ounce) bag Ghirardelli® 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
  • 3 tablespoons Ghirardelli 100% Unsweetened Cocoa
  • 0.25 cup boiling water
  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.25 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare 2 muffin pans with paper liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; let it sit.
  • Using an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs and sugar on medium speed for 1 minute.
  • Combine the vanilla, oil, and buttermilk in a separate bowl.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the mixer on low speed, alternating with the liquids, and beat until well combined after each addition, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl when needed.
  • Pour the batter into each cup until it is two-thirds full. Bake and rotate halfway through until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 to 18 minutes. Allow the cupcakes to cool on a wire rack.
  • Create a luxurious chocolate frosting by melting chocolate chips in a double boiler; gently stir until silky for about 5 minutes.
  • Combine cocoa with boiling water in a separate bowl. Allow both the chocolate and cocoa mixture to cool to room temperature.
  • Using an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together butter, sugar, and salt until fluffy. Mix in melted chocolate on low speed, then beat in the cocoa mixture.
  • Frost the cupcakes and let set for 5 minutes, then top each with a Ghirardelli Chocolate Bunny for decoration.
