Easy Chocolate Cupcakes Recipes

These easy chocolate cupcakes are light, fluffy, and so much more moist and flavorful than anything you could get out of a box.  Made quickly and easily in just one bowl, these from-scratch easy chocolate cupcakes can be out of the oven in under 30 minutes, then ice them with an equally easy, fudgy, chocolate buttercream frosting. 

I’m going back to the basics today with an incredibly easy and oh-so-perfect chocolate cupcake recipe.  Light, fluffy, moist, chocolaty and so much better than ANY box mix, these are the perfect chocolate cupcakes.

While I have a good number of chocolate cake recipes on my blog (all appropriately and carefully designed for their specific recipe and flavor combinations), this one cannot be beaten in terms of ease.

Only one bowl required, easy ingredients, phenomenal results; try these perfect chocolate cupcakes out and I guarantee you (and this is not a guarantee I make lightly) you’ll never look at another cupcake recipe again.

Ingredients
Cupcakes

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cups natural unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 2/3 cup canola oil vegetable oil would also be fine
• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs lightly beaten (preferably room temperature)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup hot water (or hot coffee or 1 tsp instant coffee dissolved into 1 cup hot water)

Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

• 1 cup salted butter softened to room temperature, 2 sticks

Instructions
Cupcakes

1. Preheat oven to 350F and line muffin tin with cupcake liners (or lightly grease and flour).
2. In large bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Stir in canola oil and milk, stirring until combined.
4. Add eggs, one at a time, stirring after each addition.
5. Stir in vanilla extract.
6. Add hot water and stir until the mixture is evenly combined (it will be a thin batter. When you first add the water the batter will separate a bit, stir until it is even in texture. Be careful with the hot water as it may splatter as it is stirred).  Batter will be very thin, don’t panic!
7. Fill prepared muffin tin cavities just over 2/3 of the way full* and bake at 350F for 18-22 minutes (use the toothpick test to check).
