In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and salt; set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and baking soda. Pour the cocoa mixture over the flour mixture and stir until halfway combined, then pour in the egg mixture and stir until the batter comes together.

Fill the muffin cups two-thirds full (a scant 1/4 cup per cupcake) and bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about ⏱️ 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for about ⏱️ 5 minutes, then remove to a rack and let cool completely before decorating.
