• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg

• 0.5 cup Boiling water
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)

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 flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the egg, milk, oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Slowly stir in the boiling water to create a smooth, thin batter.

Step 5

Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8

For the cream filling, beat the butter in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue mixing.

Step 9

Add the heavy cream and remaining 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the filling mixture. Beat until smooth and creamy.

Step 10

Transfer the filling to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. Insert the tip into the top center of each cooled cupcake and gently squeeze to fill the cupcake with cream.

Step 11

Optional: Sprinkle the tops of the cupcakes with mini chocolate chips for garnish.
