Step 1

Heat the oven to 350°F. Line 14 muffin cups with paper liners. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir with a whisk and set aside.

Step 3

Add the chocolate to a small heatproof bowl and set it over a pot of barely simmering water. Stir continuously until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a handheld electric mixer beat the butter, oil, and sugar together on medium-low speed until light and fluffy.

Step 5

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. Add the melted chocolate and mix until well incorporated.

Step 6

With the mixer set to low speed, gradually add half the flour mixture, followed by the buttermilk and coffee, and then the remaining flour mixture. Beat just until combined. The batter will be thick.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Bake until the cupcakes are set and just firm to the touch, about 18-20 minutes.

Step 8

Cool the cupcakes in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to wire rack to cool completely. Frost as desired.
