  • ½ cup vegetable oil
US Customary - Metric

  • Turn mixer up to medium speed and beat for another 30- 45 seconds, or until fully incorporated, scraping the sides of the bowl. If you're using manual beaters, beat for 2 minutes. *If you are using a stand mixer, use the paddle attachment.

  • Pour batter/chocolate mixture into lined cupcake tins, dividing the batter evenly between all 24.

  • Bake for 15 minutes or until cake tester or toothpick comes out clean. Cool in tins for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool.
  • Once cooled, add frosting to the top of the cupcakes with your favorite icing (with a piping bag), and sprinkles, if you desire. I recommend my Strawberry Whipped Cream Frosting and mixed heart sprinkles- this frosting is the perfect pairing for this cupcake and also quick and easy to make!
