MMMMM--------------------------CUPCAKES-------------------------------
   1/4 c  Brewed coffee; cooled
     2 tb Baking cocoa
 1 1/2 c  A-P flour
     1 ts Baking powder
   1/2 ts Baking soda
   1/2 ts Salt
     1 c  Sugar
   1/4 c  Unsalted butter; softened
   1/4 c  Oil
     1 lg Egg; room temperature
   1/2 c  Buttermilk
     2 tb Green food coloring
     1 ts Vanilla extract

MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
   1/2 c  Unsalted butter; softened
     8 oz Cream cheese; softened
     1 ts Vanilla extract
   1/2 ts Salt
 3 1/2 c  Confectioners' sugar
          - Sprinkles or edible
          - decorations (optional)

 Set oven @ 350°F/175°C.

 Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.

 In a small glass measuring cup, whisk together brewed coffee and
 cocoa powder until combined; set aside. In a large mixing bowl,
 whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set
 aside.

 In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment,
 cream sugar and butter for 3 to 4 minutes or until smooth and
 creamy. Add oil; beat vigorously for 2 minutes or until pale in
 color. Add egg, buttermilk, food coloring, and vanilla extract;
 beat another 1 to 2 minutes or until evenly combined. Gradually add
 dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, stirring after each
 addition until no dry patches remain. Stir in coffee/cocoa powder
 mixture until smooth.

 Fill each muffin cup about 2/3rds full with batter. Tap the pan
 gently on the counter to release any air bubbles. Bake 18 to
 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out
 clean; let cool 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from the muffin tin;
 transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

 In a clean stand mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, beat
 butter and cream cheese 3-4 minutes or until smooth and fluffy. Add
 vanilla extract and salt; beat another 30 seconds to combine. With
 the mixer on low speed, gradually add confectioners' sugar;
 continue to mix until completely combined.

 Fill a pastry bag fitted with a large star or round tip with the
 prepared frosting. Pipe a generous swirl of frosting on top of each
 cooled cupcake. Decorate with sprinkles and edible decorations, if
 desired.
