Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your tools, line your cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix wet ingredients: eggs, buttermilk, and oil. Gradually combine until just mixed.
  3. Divide the batter into two bowls. Add cocoa powder to one bowl to create a darker batter. Layer batters in each liner, swirling a toothpick for a marbled effect.
  4. Bake for 18-20 minutes until tops spring back lightly when touched or toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy the aroma!
  5. Let cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Prepare the creamy filling by mixing cream cheese with powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Whip until smooth and creamy.
  7. Once cupcakes are cool, fill each with the creamy filling using a piping bag or spoon.
