Dark Chocolate Bacon Cupcakes
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup cold, strong, brewed coffee
- 12 slices bacon
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Directions
- First, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- And then, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
- Meanwhile, stir together the flour, 3/4 cup cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the eggs, coffee, buttermilk and oil. Stir just until blended. Mix in 3/4 of the bacon, reserving the rest for garnish. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups, dividing evenly.
- And then, bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Lastly, cool in the pan set over a wire rack. When cool, arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter. Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting and sprinkle reserved bacon crumbles on top. Dust with additional cocoa powder.
- Dark Chocolate Bacon Cupcakes are ready to serve!
