Chocolate Cupcake
The star of this recipe is the chocolate cupcake itself, which is soft, fluffy, and packed with rich chocolate flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Carefully stir in the boiling water to the batter. The batter will be thin, but this will contribute to the moistness of the cupcakes.
- Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Once baked, 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.
Once your cupcakes are cooled, they are ready to be frosted or enjoyed plain. These Easy Chocolate Cupcakes can be paired with a variety of frostings, from classic vanilla buttercream to rich chocolate ganache. Each bite is sure to bring a smile!
