Beat together butter and sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Alternately beat flour mixture and buttermilk into butter mixture. Stir in melted chocolate and vanilla. Toss 1 cup chocolate morsels with remaining, 1 tablespoon flour; stir into batter. spoon batter into prepared pan, filling cups two-thirds full. Bake cupcakes until tops are firm, 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
