How to Make Deep Dark Chocolate Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the boiling water; the batter will be thin.
  6. Stir in chocolate chips (if using).
  7. Fill cupcake liners about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Decorate as desired and enjoy!
