Double Chocolate Cupcakes with Sprinkles

Ingredients (20)

• 3 oz. semi sweet chocolate, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups fresh brewed coffee

• 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 heaping teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 3/4 cups vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 ounces semi sweet chocolate, chopped
• 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
• 4 Tablespoons butter
• Pinch salt
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 Tablespoon coffee (if you have it leftover from the cake--it's not totally necessary, but I feel like it cuts the sweet of the powdered sugar nicely)
