Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup buttermilk
• 0.3 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup hot water
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
• 0.5 cup dark chocolate chunks

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 all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Slowly stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.

Step 6

Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks and dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs attached.

Step 9

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve as is, or optionally top with your favorite frosting or a dusting of powdered sugar.
