  INSTRUCTIONS                                                                                          
Chocolate Cupcakes
  1. In a large bowl, sift together flour and cocoa powder.
  2. Add sugar, baking soda, salt and whisk to combine all dry ingredients together.
  3. 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.
  4. After 10 minutes, add oil and vanilla extract to the milk-vinegar liquid. Stir to combine.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to dry, mix till the ingredients are just combined.
    . Add 2 tablespoons 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.
  7. Fill the prepared cupcake liners 1/2 full with the cupcake batter.
    . Bake at 350 for 15-17 minutes or till a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove from oven, transfer to a wire rack and let the cupcakes cool completely.
Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
  1. Using the paddle attachment of your stand mixer or using your hand mixer, beat the butter on medium
     speed for 2 minutes till creamy.
  2. Reduce speed to low and add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and milk/cream.
  3. Once all the ingredients are combined, increase mixer speed to high and beat for 2 minutes till frosting
     looks creamy.
  4. Transfer frosting to piping bag and frost the cooled cupcakes.
  NOTES
*Un-frosted cupcakes can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days. Make sure you store them in air-tight
container. If you have frosted them with the buttercream frosting, please store them in the refrigerator.
