Enjoy decadent, moist, small-batch chocolate cupcakes that are ideal for sating your sweet tooth without having to prepare a large quantity.
Ingredients: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 tsp baking powder. 1/4 tsp baking soda. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/4 cup buttermilk. 2 tbsp vegetable oil. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. 1/4 cup boiling water. 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips. 1 egg.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a muffin tin with 4 paper cupcake liners. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips. Divide the batter equally among the 4 cupcake liners. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, you can optionally frost the cupcakes with your favorite chocolate frosting or enjoy them as they are.
