One of my little boys had a birthday today, and he requested chocolate cupcakes with blue frosting. I really like using buttermilk in baked goods, so I sought out a recipe for chocolate-buttermilk cupcakes, and found a great one on Cannelle et Vanille's blog- Magnolia's Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes. (Does anyone remember that SNL skit about the Chronicles of Narnia and macking on some sweet Magnolia's Cupcakes w/all the "bomb frostings"?? I think that's my fave SNL skit ever. Too bad about all the copyright stuff on that, or I would totally be posting it here!!)

1 stick salted butter, softened (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
3 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour

1. In an electric mixer, cream together the butter, sugar and the brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the melted chocolate and mix until well incorporated. Scrape the bowl. Add the vanilla and half of the buttermilk. Add the flour and baking soda, mix and finish with the remainder of the buttermilk. Mix until well incorporated.
