Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup salted butter melted (1 stick)
- 1 cup water boiling (212°F)
- Chocolate buttercream frosting (click for recipe!)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray cupcake pans with nonstick cooking spray or line with cupcake liners and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.
- In a large heatproof bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter together.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients and beat together with a hand mixer or by hand with a whisk. Gradually add in the boiling water while mixing to help break apart the batter. Batter will be thin.
- Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tins (filling about 3⁄4 of the way full).
- Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cakes comes out with just a few crumbs.
- Cool cupcakes completely.
- Meanwhile, prepare the frosting.
- Top the cooled cupcakes with buttercream.
Notes
- Recipe adapted from Hershey’s chocolate cake recipe.
- Storage: Store chocolate cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
