Moist deep, dark chocolate mocha cupcakes are topped with a light-as-air, rich chocolate Italian meringue buttercream and garnished with grated dark chocolate. These treats are worth the effort!

*Do not add the hot syrup while the mixer is running. No matter how careful you are, there's a good chance it will splash out and get you. Hot syrup on the skin burns badly, so please err on the side of caution!
