Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Step 3: In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Step 4: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Step 6: Once cooled, frost with your favorite nutty frosting and sprinkle with chopped nuts for garnish if desired. Enjoy your Nutty Buddy Cupcakes!
Notes
- Store your Nutty Buddy Cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate them for a longer shelf life. If you want to enjoy them warm, simply pop the cupcakes in a microwave for about 10-15 seconds to revive their moist texture. For an extra special treat, serve your cupcakes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce alongside the nutty frosting. To elevate the flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla bean paste to the wet ingredients for a delightful aroma that complements the cocoa and nuts beautifully.
