Super Easy Super Moist Chocolate Cupcakes Recipes

BEST EASY CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan). Put oven rack in the middle of the oven.
• Place 12 cupcake liners in a cupcake tin.
• Sift Dry ingredients into a bowl. Whisk briefly.
• Place butter and chocolate in a separate, large heatproof bowl. Microwave for 45 seconds, mix, then microwave for another 30 seconds. Mix until chocolate is melted and smooth (keep microwaving in 20 sec bursts if chocolate not melted).
• Add cocoa powder and mix.
• Add milk and oil, then eggs, vanilla and vinegar. Whisk until smooth.
• Add flour mixture and whisk until lump free.
• Divide mixture between cupcake liners. I use a ice cream scoop for this. They should be just over 3/4 full.
• Bake for 18 - 20 minutes, or until skewer inserted into the cupcake in the middle of the tray comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and immediately transfer to cooling rack (spoon or knife helps).
• Once cool, spread with frosting and decorate with sprinkles if desired. Alternatively, use Chocolate Buttercream Frosting!

SUPER MOIST CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• 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.
• 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 combined. 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.
• 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. I usually let them cool in the pan.
• Frost cooled cupcakes however you'd like. I used chocolate buttercream and Wilton 1M piping tip for these pictured cupcakes. Top with sprinkles, if desired. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
