Number Of Ingredients 12

5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cake flour

⅛ teaspoon baking soda
2 ⅔ cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
5 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon peppermint extract

These cupcakes were a complete disaster! The batter was too runny and the cupcakes didn't rise properly. I ended up throwing them away.

The cupcakes were a little dry, but the frosting was delicious. I would make them again, but I would adjust the recipe to make the cupcakes more moist.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable.

I'm not a huge fan of peppermint, but these cupcakes were still really good. The chocolate flavor was rich and decadent, and the cupcakes were very moist.
