Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups buttermilk
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
- 2 units large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Cabernet Sauvignon or other red wine
- 0.5 cups boiling water
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting, optional)
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, softened (for frosting, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Cabernet Sauvignon (for frosting, optional)
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, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
Gently stir in the red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon) and boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
Mix in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey touch.
Evenly distribute the batter among the cupcake liners, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake the cupcakes for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If opting for frosting, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until smooth. Slowly add the red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon) and continue beating until the desired consistency is achieved. Frost the cooled cupcakes.
Serve and enjoy the rich, indulgent flavor with a glass of Cabernet on the side!
