1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 C (350 F), prepare the ingredients and devices needed to cook the cupcakes.

   

2. Take a small bowl, sift baking soda and flour. Melt chocolate on a water bath or in a microwave oven. As soon as you are done with the process, set the chocolate aside to let it cool down at a room temperature.

   

3. Take another bowl and cream the butter in it.

   

4. Now, add sugar.

   

5. Then add brown sugar and mix the ingredients well.

   

6. It is high time to add eggs now. Thoroughly mix the mass after adding each egg.

   

7. Then add melted chocolate and blend the mass once again to make it smooth.

   

8. Add sifted baking soda, flour, buttermilk and vanilla essence. Mix the mass one more time.

   

9. Spoon the batter into the cupcake forms, leaving 1/4 of free space.

   

10. Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 20-25 minutes. Make sure to check the readiness of cupcakes with a toothpick to prevent them from over burning.

    

11. While the cupcakes are cooling down, let’s make the frosting. Mix 1 cup of unsalted butter, 4 cups of sugar, milk and vanilla essence in a large bowl. Blend the ingredients well to get creamy mass.

    

12. Add the rest of sugar and mix once again until the frosting becomes consistent and dense.  

    

13. If you wish, you can add food coloring to the frosting. Now, spread the frosting on each cupcake.  Enjoy the dessert!
