Step 1: Gather your cupcake ingredients.

Step 4: Using a one-quart saucepan, heat one cup of butter, water, and three tablespoons of baking cocoa to boiling.

Step 5: Remove from heat and pour into flour mixture. Mix to combine. Add buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla, bourbon and eggs. Mix well to combine and then fold in chopped pecans. Divide the batter evenly among muffin cups, filling them two-thirds full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
