Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tray with 12 cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract, and mix well.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Then, carefully stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
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 let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
