Peppermint Mocha Cupcakes

Start by preheating your oven to 350F. In a large bowl combine your melted butter, sugar and brown sugar. Mix and add in your eggs. Mix well then add in your buttermilk and peppermint extract. Once your wet ingredients are combined set them to the side. In a separate bowl mix your flour, cocoa powder, instant espresso, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix together then add to your wet ingredients. Add in your boiling water and mix until combined. Fold until smooth then using a cooked scoop, scoop the batter into a lined muffin tin. Bake on 350F for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out smooth. Allow them to cool completely then ice with chocolate frosting. Enjoy!
