Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups hot water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a whisk or a spatula until no lumps remain.
Stir in the hot water to the batter. The batter will be thin—this is normal.
Using an ice cream scoop or a measuring cup, fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
