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, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, warm water, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 7
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 8
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 9
Once cooled, serve as is or top with your favorite frosting for an extra decadent treat.
