Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup boiling water
- 0.75 cup dark chocolate chips
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, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined and no dry pockets remain.
Step 5
Slowly add the boiling water to the batter, stirring constantly to ensure an even and smooth consistency. The batter will be thin, which is normal.
Step 6
Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
Step 7
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about 2/3 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 just a few moist crumbs.
Step 9
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting or enjoy them as-is with the melty chocolate chips inside!
