Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.0 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.0 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.0 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.0 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1.0 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 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, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and no lumps remain, but do not overmix.
Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but that is normal and ensures a moist cupcake.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 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 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
