Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.75 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 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, 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 well until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
Carefully pour in the boiling water and stir until the batter is thin and well blended. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 of the way 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 tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost and decorate as desired once the cupcakes are fully cooled. Enjoy your yummy chocolate cupcakes!
