Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place cupcake liners in muffin pans. Mix sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Add the eggs, milk, oil, butter, vanilla and mint extracts. Beat together with electric or hand held mixer for 2 minutes on medium speed.
Stir in the boiling water to thin out the batter. Then, pour the batter into the cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes. The tops should spring back when pressed with a finger. Remove from the oven and let them cool before frosting them.
Meanwhile, prepare the frosting. Beat the butter at low speed in a medium sized bowl. Add the powdered sugar and cocoa (if you don’t want chocolate frosting, you can omit the powdered cocoa and add more sugar). Add the milk and beat until it’s a smooth, thick consistency.
You may need to add more milk or sugar if necessary. Finally, stir in the vanilla and mint extracts and add a drop or two of green food coloring to really make them stand out! Now you’re ready to frost! Fill a large plastic Ziploc bag with some of the frosting and cut one corner so you can pipe it on each cupcake. Enjoy!
