- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Then, carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.
- Fill the liners: Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
