Chocolate Expresso Cupcake with Vanilla Frosting

I made this for the Easter Sunday dinner for my friends, it was a big hit. I also sprinkle some colored sugar toppings on my cupcake, it made it more interesting to eat.
Ingredients:
6 TBSP Cocoa Powder
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 tsp Baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 Egg
1/3 cup brewed expresso, cooled
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 12 muffin tins with muffin cup paper.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt and sugar.
In a medium bowl, whisk together expresso, buttermilk, egg, oil, and vanilla. Pour the wet mixture into dry mixture. Stir to combine all ingredients.Scoop the batter into prepared muffin tins, bake for 19 minutes.
To prepare vanilla icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 TBS milk, plus more to make the frosting thin enough to spread out on the cupcake.
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Mix all ingredient together.
