Chocolate Cupckaes

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup hot water

Recipe

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients

- Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 4: Incorporate the Hot Water

- Gradually add the hot water to the batter, mixing until smooth. The batter will be thin, but that's normal.

Step 5: Fill the Cupcake Liners

- Spoon the batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 of the way full.

Step 6: Bake the Cupcakes

- Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7: Frost and Serve

- Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting and serve!
