Mississippi Mud Cupcakes

These Mississippi Mud Cupcakes are a chocolate lover’s dream, combining rich cocoa and a moist texture for the perfect treat!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• Wet Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup boiling water

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir until smooth.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. The batter will be thin, which is normal.
5. Fill Cupcake Liners:
   Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
6. Bake:
   Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and Serve:
   Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve once cooled.
