Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup boiling water
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Add Boiling Water: Carefully pour in the boiling water and mix until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but that’s normal—it helps create a moist cupcake.
- Fill and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about â…” full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Frost: Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Top with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
