Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 unit large egg
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup boiling water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with 12 cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until they are well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Carefully pour in the boiling water and stir until the batter is smooth (the batter will be thin, but this is normal).

Step 6

Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Frost the cooled cupcakes with your favorite chocolate frosting and serve. Enjoy!
