Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Boiling water
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional for garnish)
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 all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Slowly pour in the boiling water while stirring. The batter will be thin, which is normal for this recipe.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
If using mini chocolate chips, sprinkle them on top of each filled liner for an extra chocolatey touch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve as they are, or frost with your favorite chocolate buttercream or whipped ganache if desired. Enjoy!
