FROSTED CHOCOLATE-BUTTERMILK CUPCAKES
Dutch-process cocoa powder has a more mellow flavor and darker color than regular cocoa powder, which works well in this recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard 12-cup muffin tin (or two 6-cup muffin tins) with paper liners. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- With an electric mixer, combine cocoa and 3 tablespoons hot water until a thick paste forms (this process intensifies the chocolate flavor). Add butter, buttermilk, egg, and egg white; beat until combined. Whisk in flour mixture until smooth.
- Scoop (or spoon) batter into prepared tin(s). Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Use an offset spatula or butter knife to spread Light Cream-Cheese Icing over tops. Decorate as desired.
