Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 7'' springform pan with parchment paper, and grease the sides. Set aside for later.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Finally, in another bowl, combine buttermilk and coffee. Add half of the wet ingredients and half of the buttermilk/coffee mixture into the dry ingredients; give a rough stir, and then whisk in the rest. Do not overmix; the batter should be relatively thin.

Step 3

Scoop batter into prepared cupcake liners, about ¾. Bake for about 20 minutes in preheated oven, until tops of the cupcakes are firm and spring back when pressed. Set aside to cool completely.

Step 4

To make the ganache, add chocolate chips and cream into a bowl. Microwave for about 1 minute, and whisk until smooth. Let cool completely.

Step 5

To make the frosting, add the butter to a large bowl, and whisk for a couple minutes with an electric whisk until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, whisking until completely incorporated between each addition. Finally, add ½ cup caramel and vanilla, and whisk for an additional minute.

Step 6

To assemble, using a knife, cut a divot into each cupcake. Use a piping bag or ziploc bag, fill each divot with ganache (you can also just spoon it in, but I find that it gets a little messy). Then, using another piping bag fitted with a tip of your choice, pipe a spiral of caramel buttercream on top of each cupcake. Using the same ganache bag, drizzle some chocolate over top and sprinkle some pecans and/or chocolate chips to garnish. Enjoy!
