Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Time Needed

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

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
Use paper liners to line a 12-cup muffin tin.
Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
Whisk together the sugar, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until they are just combined.
Incorporate the chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups.
Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to completely cool before frosting them.
To make the frosting, in a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to boil.
Remove the cream from the heat and pour it into a medium heatproof bowl with the chocolate chips.
Allow to sit for 1-2 minutes before whisking until smooth.
Refrigerate the frosting for 15-20 minutes, or until it thickens and becomes spreadable.
Frost the cupcakes and serve.
