3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed

Directions

Cupcakes:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line or lightly grease 12 muffin cups.

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the sugars and butter. Add the eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the yogurt and beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
