Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup boiling water
- 0.5 cup Nutella
- 0.25 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with 12 cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this ensures the cupcakes are moist and fudgy.
Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 of the way full with the batter.
Add a heaping teaspoon of Nutella on top of each cupcake, using a toothpick or knife to gently swirl it into the batter.
If desired, sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top of each cupcake for extra richness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Top with additional Nutella or frosting of your choice before serving. Enjoy!
