How to Make Cocoa Cupcakes
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add the buttermilk mixture to the batter and mix until just combined.
- Add 1 cup boiling water to the batter and beat with a mixer for 3 minutes. This creates a wonderfully moist and tender cupcake.
- Fill the cupcake liners about ¾ full.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost and enjoy!
