📝 Preparation Steps
1
To Make The Cupcakes:
2
Prep the oven and cupcake liners. Heat oven to 300°F (148°C). Line two cupcake pans with about 16 liners total (or you can bake multiple batches with one pan).
3
Combine the dry ingredients. Add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
baking soda1 teaspoon
4
Combine the wet ingredients. In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, coffee, oil and vanilla until evenly combined.

5
Mix the batter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be thin.
6
Bake. Fill the cupcake liners so that they are just over halfway full. (You should have between 14 to 16 cupcakes.) Bake for 18 to ⏱️ 23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cupcakes cool completely to room temperature. See step-by-step decoration instructions in the notes above.
7
To Make The Buttercream:
8
Beat the butter. Add the butter to a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on medium speed for 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes until it is light and fluffy.
9
Add the remaining ingredients. Add the powdered sugar, heavy cream and vanilla extract and beat on low speed for ⏱️ 1 minute until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then beat on medium speed for 2 more minutes until completely smooth.

Adjust consistency if needed. If the buttercream seems too thin, add in 1 to 2 cups of additional powdered sugar and beat until smooth. If the buttercream seems too thick, add in 1 tablespoon of heavy cream (or more, if needed) and beat until smooth. Dye about 2/3 cup of the frosting black. Then halve the remaining amount of frosting and dye one half red and one half brown. (I used cocoa powder as the brown "food coloring.")
