Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 unit large egg
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with 12 cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until they are well combined.
In another bowl, beat the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Carefully pour in the boiling water and stir until the batter is smooth (the batter will be thin, but this is normal).
Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost the cooled cupcakes with your favorite chocolate frosting and serve. Enjoy!
