Here's a delicious chocolate cupcake recipe for you:
**Ingredients:**
For the Cupcakes:
- 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup boiling water
For the Chocolate Frosting:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 and 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
**Instructions:**
For the Cupcakes:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tray with cupcake liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.
5. Slowly add the boiling water while mixing, until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thin, but that's okay.
6. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
8. Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Chocolate Frosting:
1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy and smooth.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, alternating with the heavy cream or milk, while mixing on low speed.
3. Once the ingredients are combined, increase the speed to high and beat for 2-3 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy.
4. Mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, pipe or spread the chocolate frosting onto the cupcakes.
Enjoy your delicious homemade chocolate cupcakes! You can also decorate them with sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or any other toppings you like.
