👩‍🍳 Let’s Get Baking!

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners. 🌡️🧁
  2. Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. 🥣✨
  3. Wet Ingredients: Add the warm water (or coffee), oil, and vanilla. Whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free. 🥄🍫
  4. Bake: Fill liners about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool completely before frosting! 🥨⏲️
  5. The Fudge Frosting: In a medium bowl, stir the cocoa powder into the melted butter. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating until you reach a creamy, spreadable consistency. Stir in the vanilla. 🥛🥣
  6. Decorate: Pipe or spread the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or white chocolate chips for that “wow” factor! 🎨🧁✨

💡 Pro-Tip:

For an extra fudgy surprise, core the center of the cooled cupcake and fill it with a little chocolate ganache before frosting! 🍫😲
