Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Add all dry ingredients into mixing bowl and mix well.
Add wet ingredients and mix well.
Line cupcake tins with cupcake liners.
Bake for 18-20 minutes. These don't get a super high dome on them, If the middle sinks slightly it's fine, they will taste great so don't stress it.
To make the frosting, add all ingredients to a large bowl and using a whisk attachment on an electric mixer beat until peaks form. Scrape down the sides of the bowl during the process to get all of the cacao powder and powdered sugar incorporated.
