Description

This Mother’s Day Chocolate CupCake is a silky, rich and delicious dessert that adds a sweet flavor to celebrating Mother’s Day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 1/4 cups (150 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (65 grams) Dutch process cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Diamond kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups (250 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions

Step 1:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners and lightly spray them with cooking spray.

Step 2:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until pale and foamy. Add yogurt, oil, and vanilla, and whisk until combined.
  • Slowly pour boiling water into the egg mixture while whisking continuously.

Step 3:

  • Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until well mixed and no dry bits remain.

Step 4:

  • Scoop the batter into the cupcake liners using a 1/2-cup measuring cup.

Step 5:

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 6:

  • Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Spray the cupcake liners to avoid sticking, for a cleaner finish.
  • Use Dutch-processed cocoa powder, not natural cocoa powder, for the best texture and flavor.
  • Fresh baking powder and baking soda are crucial for proper rising, so check their expiration dates.
  • For a softer cake, swap all-purpose flour with cake flour.
