Ingredients

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup warm water

Time Needed

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl.
In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and white vinegar.
Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth.
Cupcake liners should be used to line a muffin tin.
Fill each liner halfway with batter.
Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before serving.
Melt the dark chocolate chips and heavy cream in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water for the icing.
Stir the chocolate until it is completely melted and smooth.
Remove from the heat and set aside for 5-10 minutes to cool.
Spread the chocolate icing over the cupcakes with a spoon or a piping bag.
Allow the icing to set for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
