Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- Vanilla frosting
- Black gel icing or mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is essential for even baking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix until smooth.
- Incorporate Boiling Water: Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is what you want for moist cupcakes.
- Fill Cupcake Liners: Pour the batter into cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake: Place them in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick.
- Cool and Decorate: Once cooled, use vanilla frosting to decorate. Make sure to create mummy-like swirls. Finally, add eyes using black gel icing or mini chocolate chips.
