Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Beat the eggs, caster sugar, brown sugar, oil and vanilla together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Then add the buttermilk. Stir until just combined, do not overmix. The batter will be thin. Pour or spoon the batter into the cupcake liners. Fill only halfway, to avoid spilling over the sides or sinking. Bake at 170 degrees C for 18-21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting. Top with sprinkles.
