Chocolate Cupcake recipe?

General

Hello everyone, so tomorrow is my sister’s birthday, and since I’m the family “baker,” she wanted me to make her some chocolate cupcakes. The only problem is that I’ve never been good at making cakes or cupcakes. I’ve tried a lot of recipes, but they never seem to work out. Not only do I not want to utilize box mix, but I would also loathe to them. Is there a chocolate cupcake recipe that someone would sacrifice their life for? Every recipe on the internet says it’s the greatest :sweat:

Classic Moist Chocolate Cupcakes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm coffee (or water)
  • 1/3 cup light olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the warm coffee, oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fill Liners: Pour the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cupcakes tender.
  • For extra moisture, try using buttermilk instead of regular milk.
