Time 40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 slices bacon
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon sea salt
2 eggs
1 cup cold, strong, brewed coffee
1 cup buttermilk
½ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, 3/4 cup cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the eggs, coffee, buttermilk and oil. Stir just until blended. Mix in 3/4 of the bacon, reserving the rest for garnish. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups, dividing evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pan set over a wire rack. When cool, arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter. Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting and sprinkle reserved bacon crumbles on top. Dust with additional cocoa powder.

These cupcakes are definitely not for the faint of heart. The bacon flavor is very strong, but it's balanced out by the sweetness of the chocolate.
