  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 🧈

  • 4 cups powdered sugar 🍚

NOW GET TO ACTION

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. 🧁

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. 🥣

  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, white vinegar, and a few drops of green food coloring. 🌿🥛🥚🍶🟢

  4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a smooth batter forms.

  5. Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean. 🧁🔥

  7. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. 🧁🧊

  8. While the cupcakes are cooling, make the cream cheese frosting. In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth.

  9. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until a smooth, creamy frosting forms. 🧀🧈🍚🌿

  10. Once the cupcakes are cool, use a piping bag or knife to frost them with the cream cheese frosting. If desired, decorate with sprinkles or other St. Patrick's Day-themed decorations. 🎂💚🍀
