Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 muffin tins with paper liners.

  2. Combine 2 cups sugar, flour, 1 cup cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a bowl.

  3. Whisk buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Add flour mixture, mix until well-combined. Pour in hot water, stir until batter is smooth. Divide batter evenly among muffin tins.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 12 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.

  5. Whip 3/4 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoon heavy cream in a bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Fold in 1 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese, 7 tablespoons cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup sugar gently to make frosting.

  6. Spread 1 tablespoon frosting over each cooled cupcake.

  7. Twist chocolate sandwich cookies open, leaving all cream filling on 1 side. Place 2 cookies, cream filling-side up, on each cupcake to make owl eyes. Place a brown milk chocolate piece on each cookie to create pupils. Insert an orange or yellow milk chocolate piece in the center to make a beak.
