Ingredients

• 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1/2 cup Milk (or dairy-free alternative)
• 1/4 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup Boiling water

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 medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Slowly pour in the boiling water and whisk until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but this ensures moist cupcakes.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Once cooled, frost the cupcakes with your favorite gluten-free chocolate or vanilla frosting and enjoy!
