Ingredients

5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cake flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
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
1 cup buttermilk

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
Stir cocoa, all-purpose flour, cake flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together in a large bowl.
Beat sugar and butter together in a separate bowl until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla and peppermint extracts. Stir in dry ingredients until well mixed. Add buttermilk and stir just until moistened.
Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until cupcakes spring back when lightly touched, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
