Ingredients

For the cupcakes you’ll need:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

To make the cupcakes:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a standard cupcake pan with 12 liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 liners and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These cupcakes are best served the day they’re made, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to make them ahead of time, you can freeze them in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

To make the cupcakes more decadent, you can add a few tablespoons of espresso powder to the dry ingredients for a mocha flavor. You can also add some chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for texture.
