Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Boiling water
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (for frosting)
• 0.25 cup Whole milk (for frosting)
• 0.5 cup Chocolate sprinkles

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 4

Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is normal. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7

While the cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy using an electric mixer.

Step 8

Add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder to the butter, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.

Step 9

Gradually add the milk and vanilla extract, increasing the mixer speed to medium-high. Beat until the frosting is light, fluffy, and spreadable.

Step 10

Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them generously with the chocolate frosting.

Step 11

Finish by decorating with chocolate sprinkles or any additional toppings of your choice.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy these indulgent Chocoholic's Cupcakes with a tall glass of milk!
