Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cups warm water
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 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, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, warm water, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, serve as is or top with your favorite frosting for an extra decadent treat.
