Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place 24 paper liners in two 12-cup muffin tins; coat liners with nonstick spray.
  2. 2 Cook bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels; crumble and set aside.
  3. 3 Whisk flour, sugar, ¾ cup cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Make a well in the center; pour in coffee, buttermilk, oil, and eggs. Stir just until blended. Mix in ¾ bacon; reserve ¼ for garnish. Divide batter among the prepared cups.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  5. 5 Cool in tins set on a wire rack. When cool, arrange cupcakes on a serving platter; frost with your favorite chocolate frosting. Sprinkle reserved bacon crumbles on top; dust with remaining 1 tablespoon cocoa powder.
