CHOCO CUPCAKE

Ingredients
 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
 1/2 cup (45g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
 1/4 teaspoon salt
 2 large eggs, at room temperature*
 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable or canola oil (or melted coconut oil)
 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
 1/2 cup (120ml) buttermilk, at room temperature
 frosting: chocolate buttercream or any of these frostings
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake
liners. Line a second pan with 2 liners – this recipe makes about 14
cupcakes. Set aside.

2. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Set aside. In a medium
bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla
together until completely smooth. Pour half of the wet ingredients into the
dry ingredients. Then half of the buttermilk. Gently whisk for a few seconds.
Repeat with the remaining wet ingredients and buttermilk. Stir until *just*
combined; do not overmix. The batter will be thin.

3. Pour or spoon the batter into the liners. Fill only halfway (this is imperative!
only halfway!) to avoid spilling over the sides or sinking. Bake for 18-21
minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to
cool completely before frosting.
4. Frost cooled cupcakes however you’d like. I used Wilton 1M piping tip for
these pictured cupcakes. Top with sprinkles, if desired. Store leftovers in the
refrigerator for up to 5 days.
