How to Make Cola Chocolate Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar (or brown sugar), ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup cola (or strong brewed coffee).
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until just combined. Do not overmix. (Alternatively, use an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes).
  5. Fill cupcake liners about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Frost and enjoy! Cupcakes can be frozen unfrosted or frosted.
