Instructions
For the Chocolate Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a small saucepan, bring the water and the sugar to a boil. Stir until the sugar dissolves, and transfer to a large bowl. Add the chocolate and butter pieces, along with the vanilla, and let it sit until everything melts and cools slightly.
- Beat the eggs into the chocolate mixture at medium speed until well combined. Slowly beat in the dry ingredients until smooth.
- Fill up the cupcake liners 2/3 of the way with batter. Bake until no longer jiggly in the center and a toothpick comes out clean, about 17 to 20 minutes.
For the Chocolate Frosting
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the cocoa until smooth and then scrape into a medium bowl.
- Beat in the milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar until you've reached the desired consistency. Once cupcakes have cooled, use a spatula to spread on top, garnish with any other desired toppings, and serve.
Notes
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
