Ingredients
For the Cupcakes:

•6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
•1 tsp baking soda
•½ tsp baking powder
•½ tsp salt
•1 large egg
•½ cup buttermilk
•½ cup warm water
•¼ cup vegetable oil

For the Coconut-Pecan Frosting:
•½ cup unsalted butter
•1 cup evaporated milk
•¾ cup granulated sugar
•3 large egg yolks
•1 tsp vanilla extract
•1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
•¾ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cupcakes
1.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
2.In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3.Add the egg, buttermilk, warm water, oil, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and well combined.
4.Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
5.Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Frosting
1.In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, evaporated milk, sugar, and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 10 minutes).
2.Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, coconut, and pecans. Allow the frosting to cool to room temperature.
Step 3: Assemble the Cupcakes
1.Spoon the coconut-pecan frosting generously over the cooled cupcakes.
2.For an extra touch, drizzle with melted chocolate or garnish with a pecan half.
Tips for Success
•Use high-quality cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate flavor.
•Make sure the cupcakes are completely cool before frosting to avoid melting.
•Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days (if they last that long!).
