Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup boiling water
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Carefully add the boiling water to the batter, stirring until the mixture is smooth. The batter will be thin—this is normal.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
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 allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost and decorate as desired, or enjoy as is for a pure chocolate experience!
