Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup hot water
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
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 egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Gradually stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but this ensures moist cupcakes.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Using a spoon or a measuring cup, divide the batter evenly among the 12 cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy as-is, or frost with your favorite chocolate frosting for an extra decadent treat!
