Ingredients Needed

  • Flour
  • Salt
  • Baking soda
  • Sugar
  • Vanilla
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Milk
  • Oil
  • Butter
  • Powdered sugar

Ingredients Notes

Cocoa Powder

I like to use the dark chocolate variety for unsweetened cocoa powder. It definitely gives it a deeper cocoa flavor and color. You can find a link to the brand I use in the recipe card. Of course, use your preferred variety/brand for your cupcakes.

Oil

Any neutral flavored (vegetable/canola/sunflower) will work. If desired, you can replace it with melted butter. Just be sure to let the melted butter cool for about 5 minutes before adding it to the batter.

Recipe Notes

Batter

Don’t over mix your batter. This may give you dense cupcakes. Simply mix until no dry spots are left in the batter.

Frosting

Don’t feel like making your frosting homemade? Use a can of the pre-made stuff! Also, if chocolate is not your preferred flavor, check out the frosting section of the index for some different flavor ideas. Note: these are also delicious simply plain 😉

Storage

Keep your cupcakes in a covered container in the refrigerator. They are best eaten in a 1-2 days.
