Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (125g) All-Purpose Flour
- ¼ cup (25g) Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ½ cup (115g) Unsalted Butter
- ½ cup (100g) Granulated Sugar
- ½ cup (100g) Packed Brown Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ½ cup (120ml) Buttermilk
- ½ cup (120ml) Hot Water or Hot Coffee
- 1 cup (175g) Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- Cream the softened butter with granulated and brown sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in vanilla.
- Combine dry ingredients and buttermilk alternately into the wet mixture. Pour in hot water (or coffee), mixing until smooth, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter among the cupcake liners, filling each about ⅔ full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean, then cool completely.
Notes
For an even richer flavor, use hot coffee instead of hot water. Allow cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
