Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup hot water

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done with a hand mixer or a stand mixer.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour in the hot water. Mix until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but that's okay.
7. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with batter.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
9. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Optional: Frosting

Feel free to frost your chocolate cupcakes with your favorite frosting, such as chocolate ganache, cream cheese frosting, or buttercream. Get creative with toppings like sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa powder.

Enjoy your homemade chocolate cupcakes!
