- After this, Mix flour, sugar, cocoa, and baking soda in a stand mixer until well combined.
- Add buttermilk, eggs, warm water, oil, and vanilla. Mix on medium speed until smooth. It should only take a few minutes. Remember that scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to ensure that everything is well mixed.
- Fill each cupcake with 2/3 of the contents.
- Bake the cupcakes for 20-22 minutes or until they pass the toothpick test. Cool completely in the tins.
- Using a hand mixer, whip the butter into a fluffy consistency. Add the vanilla extract and cocoa powder. Beat until combined. After this, Mix in the powdered sugar one cup at a while, beating in between.
- Place frosting in a piping bag, and pipe it onto the cupcakes once they are completely cooled.
