-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Line each cupcake tin with paper liners.
-
Begin mixing the flour, sugar, dark cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt together in a bowl.
-
In a second bowl add the eggs, whole milk, oil, and vanilla.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
-
Beat all of the ingredients together for three minutes on medium.
-
After these ingredients are mixed slowly begin to add the boiling water, a little amount at the beginning, stirring as you add, then pour the remaining boiling water in. This may cause the batter to be a little runny but that is okay.
-
Scoop the batter into the lined cupcake tins until about 3/4 filled.
-
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
-
Remove the cupcakes from the oven allowing them to cool for 10 minutes.
-
Remove each cupcake from the pan placing them on a wire rack to completely cool.
