Ingredients

  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ cups sugar

  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • 2 large eggs

  • ¾ cup warm water

  • ¾ cup buttermilk

  • 3 tablespoons safflower oil

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Sift cocoa powder, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Add eggs, warm water, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla, and mix until smooth.

  2. Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full. Bake until tops spring back when touched, about 20 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to wire racks, and let cool. Cupcakes will keep, covered, for up to 3 days.
