You will need the following ingredients: all purpose flour, sugar, milk, cooking oil (I used Canola oil), two eggs, baking powder, baking soda, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, salt, and boiling water. The recipe recommends using the best quality cocoa powder and vanilla extract; however, I am a big fan of buying store brand items or whatever is on sale the most!
Line your cupcake tins with the liners of your choice. Preheat your oven to 350º.
Don't you just love these? I used these liners that I found at Michael's craft store. They fit perfectly with the brown and turquoise color theme that we used for the bridal shower.
In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups of sugar, 1 3/4cups all purpose flour, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Stir all of the dry ingredients together.
Next, add 2 eggs, 1 cup of whole milk, 1/2 cup of canola oil, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
Beat on medium speed for 1 minute. While working on this, start boiling some water.
Stir in 1 cup of boiling water.
The batter will be thin, but that's okay.
Pour your batter into a container with a lip. This will make it easier to fill you cupcake liners. You want to fill each liner about 2/3 full (maybe just a little less). You will need to leave enough room for the cupcakes to rise as they cook, but not go over the edge of the liner. This is to make sure all of the cupcakes are uniform and that you have a nice, even surface for decorating.
Place your cupcake pans in the oven and bake for 22-24 minutes. When you are cooking cupcakes, you want to check them at the shortest cooking time recommended. So, I would check them at 22 minutes. You don't want to over cook them.
Allow your cupcakes to completely cool down on cooling racks before decorating them.

I wanted to share all of these cute liners that I bought at Michael's. I have started a collection of cute liners that I have found at Michael's, A.C. Moore, and Target. I will add a newer picture of my collection soon. I already have a few more since taking this picture. So cute!
I also found these really cute Paula Deen recipe cards at Michael's for cheap ($1 per pack). Love them!!
