Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
- 1 cup warm coffee, or 8 fluid ounces
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/3 cup unsweetened natural cocoa
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, the correct size
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit with the rack positioned in the middle of the oven. Fill this 12-piece muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients well together to break up most of the cocoa lumps.
- In the second mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and whisk just until combined and no dry streaks remain. The mixture will be loose and slightly lumpy.
- Use an ice cream spoon to scoop up the mixture, filling each cup 2/3 full (don't fill it too much). Bake for 18-22 minutes (20 minutes was ideal), until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes in skillet, then transfer to rack to cool completely to room temperature before decorating.
Delicious! I’m making them for a library baking club, and managed to reduce the baking time to 15 minutes at 375, and was also able to make it all in one bowl! The kids are going to love them!
These are better than bakery cupcakes! I ate one and it will be hard to not eat the rest. Amazingly delicious!
One word…WOW! I followed the recipe exactly and they came out perfectly! I used pure vanilla I had received as a gift from St Maarten…what a difference. No need to look any further for the perfect chocolate cupcake! Thank you so much ☺️
Hey, Do you know why my brownies dry out after an hour or so out of the oven, is it under baked? They tasted fine though.
These are the best cupcakes I have ever had! Perfect amount of sweetness, moist, and just the right amount of richness. The coffee makes it amazing!

Is it ok to omit vinegar or replace it with something else? If replacing what is suitable to replace it?
