Super Moist Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

Ingredients:

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup + 2 tbsp flour
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp cocoa powder (Ghirardelli is best)
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 cup of milk
1/4 cup of canola oil
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup boiling water

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting:
1/3 cup softened butter
3 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup milk

Directions: 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tray with cupcake liners.

Sift together the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
Add the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla then beat together with a mixer until combined.
Scrape the sides of the bowl then add the boiling water and mix until just combined. The batter will be very watery so don’t be alarmed. Pour the batter into a measuring cup and pour evenly into each liner. Place into the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool completely before frosting.

Frosting:
Beat the butter in a bowl until creamy; gradually pour in the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Once the frosting is well combined you can add food coloring if you desire. I simply frosted, dipped in colored sprinkles and drizzled with white chocolate.
