Ready In: 35 mins
Serves: 12-24
Yields: 26 Cupcakes or 1 standard cake
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 3⁄4 cups flour
- 3⁄4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1⁄2 cup oil
- 1 cup boiling water
Directions
- First, sift (or push through metal strainer) the cocoa powder to get all of the lumps out.
- Mix in sugar and flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Wisk well.
- Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Mix well, the batter will be very thick.
- Last, add the boiling water. After mixing, the batter will now be very thin.
- Pour into 2 9 inch rounds (greased and floured), 1 9x13 (greased and floured) or about 26 standard sized cupcakes with paper liners. With this thin batter, its about 1/4 cup of batter per cup. (Or, 2 full muffin pans and another small sized something for the extra).
- Bake at 350. 30-35 minutes for cakes and 20-25 minutes for cupcakes.
- These don't rise to be very large and puffy. They have a flat top, perfect for frosting.
