Make the brownies: Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease the cups of a standard 12-cup muffin pan. Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

Transfer batter to prepared pan, dividing evenly (each cup should be about two-thirds full). Bake, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 20 to ⏱️ 25 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack ⏱️ 15 minutes, then transfer to rack to cool completely.
4
Make the buttercream: Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and creamy, 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes. Beat in cocoa powder, vanilla, and cream, scraping sides as necessary, until combined, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Add half of the confectioners’ sugar and mix until combined. Add remaining confectioners’ sugar; beat for ⏱️ 1 minute.
