A few weeks ago, I was looking for a recipe to make chocolate mint cupcakes when I came across this recipe. After omitting the mint, it becomes the greatest chocolate cupcake ever! It so moist and the chocolate flavor is nice and strong. Don't be put off by the watery batter or long bake time its what makes the cake great! Sorry, no pics right now but hopeful I'll be able to add some soon.
Chocolate Cupcakes (makes 24 cupcakes)
Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1-1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 muffins pans with cupcake papers and set aside.
In a large bowl whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking
powder, baking soda and salt. Add in eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Beat
with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour in boiling
water and whisk to combine. Batter will be thin.
Fill each cupcake paper 2/3 of the way full with batter and bake for
16-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely
before frosting.
