Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 units Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Boiling water
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, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Using a hand whisk or an electric mixer, mix on medium speed until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.
Carefully pour the boiling water into the batter, a little at a time, while gently stirring. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 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 tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
