Homemade chocolate cupcakes have a few things working against them: they don&rsquo;t have the dough conditioners and preservatives boxed mixes have, and cocoa powder can dry out baked goods if the recipe isn&rsquo;t properly balanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To counteract the dreaded dry cupcake syndrome, you need just a couple common pantry ingredients to keep these chocolate cupcakes moist. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span class=\"blue-highlighter\"><strong>Buttermilk:<\/strong><\/span> buttermilk is one of my favorite secret (or not-so-secret) weapons for keeping baked goods moist! This recipe uses buttermilk as the main liquid, instead of regular milk or water, to add extra moisture and help the cupcakes stay softer for longer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span class=\"blue-highlighter\"><strong>Sour Cream:<\/strong><\/span> like its cousin buttermilk, sour cream adds moisture to these cupcakes, but it also adds richness and creaminess thanks to its high fat content. I always recommend using full-fat dairy when possible (unless a recipe says otherwise!) but in this case, you can use light sour cream just fine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-tip has-background has-quaternary-background-color\"><div class=\"cwp-inner\">\n\n<p class=\"block-tip__title is-style-heading\">What if I don&rsquo;t have buttermilk or sour cream?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&rsquo;t have <strong>buttermilk<\/strong> handy, you can make your own by combining 1 TBSP of fresh lemon juice or white vinegar with 1 cup of 2% or whole milk. Stir well, and let the milk sit for 10 minutes, until it&rsquo;s thickened slightly, then you can use it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&rsquo;t have <strong>sour cream<\/strong>, you can swap in an equal amount of plain Greek yogurt. Whole yogurt is better, but low fat is also okay!<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/chocolate-cupcake-recipe-9.jpg\" alt=\"Scooping chocolate cupcake batter into a cupcake pan lined with paper liners\" class=\"wp-image-27297\" title=\"Chocolate Cupcake Recipe - Looking for the PERFECT chocolate cupcake?

The eggs should always be added gradually, to give the mixture enough time to incorporate each egg, so the cake batter is smooth and emulsified.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, wet and dry ingredients are added in an alternating pattern, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. In this case, &ldquo;dry ingredients&rdquo; means a sifted combination of flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, and the &ldquo;wet ingredients&rdquo; means a mixture of buttermilk, sour cream, and espresso powder.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest thing to remember about making cakes at home is to <strong>not overwork the batter.<\/strong> Overmixing cake batter will give you tough, dry cakes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the cupcake batter is mixed, fill each muffin cup <strong>2\/3 full<\/strong>&mdash;do NOT fill to the top of the cup! 2\/3 full is the perfect amount for this recipe, and will ensure 24 beautifully baked cupcakes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/chocolate-cupcake-recipe-1.jpg\" alt=\"Cupcake pan filled with chocolate cupcake batter, before baking\" class=\"wp-image-27289\" title=\"Chocolate Cupcake Recipe - Looking for the PERFECT chocolate cupcake?

But if you want or need to make these cupcakes in advance, you can bake them off and store them in the freezer before decorating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To freeze cupcakes, let them cool completely, then <strong>place them in freezer bags without overcrowding them<\/strong>. Squeeze as much air out of the bags as possible, to prevent air from sneaking in and causing them to go stale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your freezer doesn&rsquo;t have a flat surface to place the cupcakes on, put the bags of cupcakes on baking sheets so the bottoms stay flat. They can be frozen for up to 3 months, and if you will be leaving them in the freezer that long, consider wrapping the entire sheet in several layers of plastic wrap (yes, over the freezer bags!) as double insurance against freezer burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To thaw the cupcakes, let them sit at room temperature in the freezer bags. Once they are defrosted, you can remove them from the freezer bags and decorate! Pick your favorite buttercream and then embellish with sprinkles, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/chocolate-leaves\/\">Chocolate Leaves<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/chocolate-feathers\/\">Chocolate Feathers<\/a> or candy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/chocolate-cupcake-recipe-5.jpg\" alt=\"Sprinkling colorful sprinkles on top of a frosted chocolate cupcake\" class=\"wp-image-27294\" title=\"Chocolate Cupcake Recipe - Looking for the PERFECT chocolate cupcake?
