CUPCAKES:
1 cup butter
1/2 cup water
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
FUDGE FROSTING:
6 tablespoons milk
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup butter
4 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Place 24 cupcake liners into muffin pans. In a small sauce, bring the butter, water, and coco powder to a boil. Turn off and set aside. Combine flour, sugar, and baking soda. Add eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, and coco mixture. Stir until well blended. Pour into cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until done. They will be moist. Do not over cook. Cool completely. Fudge frosting: In a small saucepan, combine milk, coco powder, and butter. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and powdered sugar. Drop a tablespoon full onto center of each cupcake. The frosting will thicken quickly, so do not make the frosting until ready to put on cupcakes.
