Servings: 12 cupcakes
Calories: 271kcal
Ingredients
- 6 ounces water
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 cup refined sugar
- 6 ounces buttermilk
- 3 large organic eggs
- 4 1/2 ounces vegetable oil
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Boil the water in a sauce pan. Move from heat, add in cocoa powder whisking with a hand whisk constantly until the cocoa is melted. You might need to put it back on the burner for a minute. It's easy to burn, so watch closely. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Sift together the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda, sugar) in a mixing bowl.
- Add liquid ingredients (eggs, oil, buttermilk) into a separate bowl. I add them in a liquid measuring cup.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients while mixer is on medium. Mix until combined.
- Scrape in the melted chocolate and mix until combined. The batter is a little thin, but don't worry it bakes up nicely!
- Pour the batter evenly into a lined cupcake tin and add in a small piece of Enstrom Toffee to each cupcake batter.
- Bake in a 325 degree oven for 20 minutes until the cupcakes are not jiggly in the center.
- Let the cupcakes cool before adding the frosting.
