  • 0.25 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.3333333730698 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.66666668653488 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 5 cups confectioners' sugar

Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Cream together white sugar, brown sugar, and butter in a stand mixer until smooth. Add egg and beat until well combined. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • In a second bowl, whisk together flour, 2/3 cup cocoa powder, baking powder, coffee, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon until smooth. Alternately add the flour mixture and 1 cup milk to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full with batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for at least 25 minutes before serving.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and gradually add confectioners' sugar until creamy. Pour in 2 tablespoons milk and mix until smooth. Fold in cocoa powder and vanilla extract.
  • Prepare a piping bag by attaching a coupler and tip. Place the piping bag in a tall glass and fold the edges over the rim. Fill the bag with frosting, twist the top closed, and use to frost cupcakes.
