Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.

Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
4
Using a stand mixer, whisk together sugar and oil for 2 minutes. Slowly add in eggs and vanilla.
5
Pour in 1/2 of the sifted dry ingredient mixture and then the buttermilk. Stir in the rest of the dry ingredients until just combined.

Pour into a lined cupcake pan about 3/4 full. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cupcake comes out almost clean. A few crumbs are fine, you don't want to over-bake these. You also don't want to under-bake or they will cave in. Let them cool in the pan for a couple of minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to completely cool!
