Place 24 paper liners into two 12-cup cupcake tins; coat liners with nonstick spray. Cook bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels; crumble and set aside. Whisk flour, sugar, 3/4 cup cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Make a well in the center; pour in coffee, buttermilk, oil, and eggs. Stir just until blended. Mix in 3/4 bacon, reserving 1/4 for garnish. Spoon batter evenly into the prepared cups. Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in tins set on a wire rack. When cool, arrange cupcakes on a serving platter; frost with your favorite chocolate frosting. Sprinkle reserved bacon crumbles on top; dust with remaining 1 tablespoon cocoa powder. Jennifer Baker I Made It Print 359 home cooks made it!
