Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions:

Warm your oven up to 350F 175C and put paper liners in two cupcake molds

Whisk the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl

Melt the unsalted butter and mix it with the whole milk, vanilla extract, and egg yolk in a different bowl

Mix the dry and wet ingredients together until they are just mixed

Be careful not to mix too much

Put the same amount of batter into each of the two cupcake molds

In a hot oven, bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean

Take the cupcakes out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes in their molds

Then, move them to a wire rack to cool completely

While the cupcakes cool, make the chocolate buttercream that is fudgy

Put the unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered sugar in a small bowl and mix them together using a sieve

Melt the unsalted butter in a different bowl and beat it until it's smooth

Add the vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and the sifted cocoa powder and powdered sugar mixture all at once

Beat until everything is smooth and well mixed

You can use a piping bag or a knife to frost the cupcakes with the fudgy chocolate buttercream once they are completely cool
