Thanks to sour cream and buttermilk, these chocolate cupcakes are so moist! We love that this recipe only makes 12 cupcakes too. The coffee buttercream is the perfect complement to the chocolaty cupcake. It's not an overpowering coffee flavor. If the buttercream doesn't have enough coffee flavor for you, add a little bit of coffee extract. We garnished the cupcakes with couple chocolate covered espresso beans. Yum!
