Ingredients
Directions
9 STEPS
1
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
3
In another mixing bowl, using an electric mixer or a whisk, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4
Melt semisweet chocolate chips in the microwave or using a double boiler, then let it cool slightly before adding it to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until combined.
5
Add eggs one at a time to the chocolate mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
6
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and whole milk to the chocolate mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
7
Gently stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth and well combined.
8
Fill the cupcake liners 2/3 full with batter and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
