Steps

30 mins

1

In a large bowl, sift together flour and cocoa powder.
Add sugar, baking soda, salt and whisk to combine all dry ingredients together.
2

Add 1 cup milk to a cup and then add 1 tablespoon white vinegar to it. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes. You can also use 1 cup buttermilk in place if you have that on hand.
After 10 minutes, add oil and vanilla extract to the milk-vinegar liquid. Stir to combine.
3

Add the wet ingredients to dry, mix till the ingredients are just combined.
Add 2 tablespoon of water at this point if the batter seems too thick. This is optional, I did add it to my batter. Remember to not over-mix the batter.
Fill the prepared cupcake liners 1/2 full with the cupcake batter.
4

Bake at 350 for 15-17 minutes or till a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven, transfer to a wire rack and let the cupcakes cool completely.
5

Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
Using the paddle attachment of your stand mixer or using your hand mixer, beat the butter on medium speed for 2 minutes till creamy.
Reduce speed to low and add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and milk/cream.
Once all the ingredients are combined, increase mixer speed to high and beat for 2 minutes till frosting looks creamy.
Transfer frosting to piping bag and frost the cooled cupcakes.
