How to make chocolate cupcakes

Ingredients you’ll need

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350oF (177oC) and line cupcake tins with plain white cupcakes liner (or any other kind to your liking). Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, sift together dry ingredients -all-purpose flour, expresso powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder and pinch of salt.

In a second mixing bowl, mix the oil, granulated sugar, fresh brewed coffee, vinegar, and vanilla extract.

Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and whisk just until the ingredients come together. Be careful not to overmix! As soon as you see no more streaks of dry mixture, stop whisking.

Fill each cupcake liner 2/3 full. Use ice cream scoop or pastry/piping bag.

Tip from Marina: Do not overfill cupcake tin. Other way, it will flow over and won’t form that perfect dome top.

Bake the cupcakes for about 18 min. Start checking the cupcakes at the 15-minute mark. Toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Or gently press with your fingers on top of the cupcakes, and if they spring right back, that means they are done backing. Cool 5 minutes in the pan then transfer to a rack to cool completely to room temperature before filling and frosting.

This recipe makes 12 cupcakes.
