These cupcakes are for serious chocolate lovers! A moist, rich dark chocolate cupcake is filled with salted caramel and topped with a whipped chocolate buttercream.
Whipped Chocolate Buttercream
will frost 12 cupcakes
1 stick butter, softened
3 oz chocolate chips, melted & cooled (I used a mix of semi sweet & dark chocolate)
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the butter for 5 minutes on medium speed, until light and fluffy. Make sure to scrape down the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low, add in the powdered sugar and mix until combined. Add the vanilla, and once combined, add the melted chocolate. Mix on medium for another 2 minutes, scraping the sides down once, until light and fluffy. This is a great piping buttercream!
