Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 2 large eggs (or flaxseed eggs for vegan)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure even flavor and fluffy cupcakes.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together milk, vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Bring Wet and Dry Together: Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep cupcakes light and airy.
  5. Fill and Bake: Divide the batter evenly into cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool Completely: Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely to prevent sogginess and help frosting adhere better.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and milk for better mixing and even rising.
  • Spoon flour into your measuring cup and level off to avoid dense cupcakes.
  • Mix batter just until combined to keep cupcakes tender and light.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick to avoid dryness.
  • Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting for smooth and stable decoration.
