Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (stir, spoon, and level when measuring)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa (not hot chocolate mix)
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt1 large/XL egg
  • 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup oil (vegetable/canola)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup boiling water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line muffin tins with paper cupcake liners. (About 15.)
  • Sift together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. (Sifting will create a lighter/softer cupcake. If you don’t have a sieve, whisk these ingredients well.)
  • Add the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir until incorporated. 
  • Heat 1/2 cup of water in a large glass measuring cup in the microwave until boiling (1-2 minutes). Pour boiling water into batter and mix until fully incorporated. The texture of the batter should be consistent throughout. Batter will be thin, but shouldn’t have watery spots.
  • Fill prepared cupcake liners 2/3 full (just barely over halfway full). Do NOT overfill. Bake for 20-22 minutes. To test doneness — a toothpick will come clean out of the center or the cake will spring back when touched.
  • Cool completely and decorate with desired frosting. I used this Chocolate
