Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined—avoid overmixing.
Fill cupcake liners two-thirds full with batter.
Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

Allow your ingredients to come to room temperature for better mixing.

Experiment with different frostings or toppings like sprinkles or fruits for variety.

Ensure not to overfill cupcake liners to prevent overflow during baking.
