Mexican Chocolate Cupcakes
These cupcakes bring a little twist to the traditional chocolate flavor, infusing it with the warm, rich notes of cinnamon and a touch of chili. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust according to your spice preference)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 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 flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Carefully add in the boiling water and stir until fully incorporated. The batter will be thin, but that’s normal!
- 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 comes out clean. Allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Your Mexican Chocolate Cupcakes are now ready to be decorated or enjoyed plain. A light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate ganache would elevate them even more!
Enjoy the robust flavor of these cupcakes on your next celebratory gathering or as an indulgent snack. The fusion of chocolate with spices creates a delightful sensory experience that you and your guests are bound to remember!
