Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees f/180 degrees c. Line a 12-count muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine the eggs, granulated white sugar, brown sugar, oil and vanilla extract. Mix on high speed until well combined, about one minute.
- Pour half of the mixture into the dry ingredients and mix in until just combined. Mix in all of the buttermilk and then the remaining mixture. Stir until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Evenly divide the batter between the 12 cupcake liners. Bake between 18 - 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and place on a baking tray to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost the cupcakes with the Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. Add sprinkles if desired.
- Cupcakes will keep fresh up to three days.

Notes
- Measure ingredients correctly – It’s very easy to measure incorrectly. In the recipe card, measurements are first listed in US cups but can be changed to metric with the click of a button. I use the metric system for all baking as I find it more accurate.
- Baking time may vary – These cupcakes will be baked when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. They will bake between 18 - 20 minutes. Check them at the earliest time.
- Cool cupcakes completely – Make sure the cupcakes have cooled down completely before frosting. Otherwise you risk the frosting melting off the cupcakes.
