Turn off the heat and add the chocolate. Whisk constantly until chocolate is melted.
3
|
Pour into a bowl and add the butter 1 tablespoon at a time until icing is smooth and butter is incorporated.

Let the icing come to room temperature to allow it to set. You can also put the icing in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to speed up the process. Dip the cupcakes into the icing or spread using an offset spatula or knife.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Bloom Your Cocoa Powder 🍫Whisk cocoa powder with hot water or melted chocolate before adding to batter to deepen flavor and eliminate any raw powder taste for richer chocolate notes.
- Balance Honey's Moisture Content 💧Reduce other liquid ingredients slightly when using honey as your sweetener, since honey adds moisture—this prevents overly dense or sunken cupcakes.
- Activate Baking Soda Properly ⚡Mix your apple cider vinegar with the wet ingredients first to activate the baking soda before combining with dry ingredients, ensuring optimal rise and light crumb structure.
- Don't Overmix After Flour Addition 🥄Fold in your dry ingredients gently with just 8-10 strokes—overmixing develops gluten and creates tough, dense cupcakes instead of tender ones.
- Use Avocado Oil for Moisture 🥑Choose avocado oil over vegetable oil for a naturally sweeter, more buttery flavor that complements dark chocolate without adding any grassy notes.
