Description
A delightful recipe for moist and rich chocolate cupcakes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until well combined.
- Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For richer chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
- Ensure your eggs and milk are at room temperature for best results.
- Do not overmix the batter once the wet ingredients are added.
