The Ultimate Chocolate Cupcake Recipe!
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder (45g)
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour (95g)
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup buttermilk (120ml)
- ⅓ cup vegetable or canola oil (or melted coconut oil) (80ml)
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar (100g)
- Frosting: Chocolate buttercream
Recipe
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a twelve cup biscuit pan with cupcake liners. Line a second pan with two liners. Now set it aside. (This recipe will produce around 14 cupcakes.)
- Whisk the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a big bowl until completely joined. Now keep it aside. In a different medium-sized bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, eggs, oil, brown sugar, and vanilla together until mixed thoroughly. Pour half of the wet ingredients into the dry ones. Now add half of the buttermilk. Slowly whisk it for 10-15 seconds. Repeat the same with the remaining wet ingredients and buttermilk. Mix until they are combined; don’t overmix. The batter will get thin.
- Empty or spoon the batter into the liners. Fill just halfway to abstain from overflowing the sides or sinking. Heat for around 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle says it all. Now allow it to cool totally before icing.
- Now comes the frosting part. Ice the cooled cupcakes any way you’d like. Use any piping tip to frost your cupcakes perfectly. Now top it with sprinkles if you like. You are done. Refrigerate the leftovers for a maximum of 5 days.
