How to Make Mint Chocolate Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, ¾ teaspoon salt, and 1 ½ cups sugar.
- In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 cup strong brewed coffee or water, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon mint extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fill cupcake liners about ¾ full.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- **For an 8x8 inch cake:** Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cupcakes or cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- Frost with your favorite green mint frosting and enjoy!
