Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and chili powder.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
Additional Notes:
- You can adjust the amount of chili powder to your liking. If you prefer a milder cupcake, use less.
- These cupcakes taste great with a cream cheese frosting, or a chocolate ganache.
- For an extra kick of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or cayenne pepper to the batter.
