Best Baking Tips; Ingredient Tips!
Chocolate Champagne Cupcakes are the perfect way to celebrate any special occasion. Starting your baking journey with the right ingredients can make all the difference.
Cocoa powder is key for the rich and indulgent chocolate flavor. For best results, use an unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder, which will provide a dark and velvety cupcake crumb.
To give your Cocoa Champagne Cupcakes that added sparkle, don’t skimp on the champagne, go for a sparkling white variety.
As for sweetener, light brown sugar works best – it will help keep your cupcakes moist and tender without overpowering its decadent flavors with too much sweetness.
Using these top tips you can be sure that your Chocolate Champagne Cupcakes will be a treat worth savoring!

Chocolate Champagne Cupcakes
Ingredients
Let's gather the ingredients!
Cupcakes
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder dutch processed
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- ¾ cups light brown sugar
- ¾ stick unsalted butter softened
- 1 whole egg plus 1 egg white
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup champagne
Frosting
- 1 cup champagne
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder Optional
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- gold or pearl sprinkles optional
Instructions
Let's Begin!
Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a standard 12 cups muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt, then set aside.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the sugar and butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Reduce the speed to low, then add the egg and egg white one at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in the vanilla.
- Add the flour mixture in ⅓ at a time, alternating with the champagne ½ at a time, beating until just combined. Do not overbeat.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-fourths full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Frosting
- In a small saucepan, bring the champagne to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to medium and allow to simmer until it reduces down to about ¼ cup.
- Reserve 2 tbsp of the reduction for the frosting, and use the rest to brush on top of the warm cupcakes. I brushed each cupcake twice with the reduction and discarded the leftover. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and 2 tbsp of the champagne reduction until smooth.
- Frost the cupcakes as desired, then decorate them with sparking sugar or pearl sprinkles.
- Serve and enjoy with family and friends!
